High On a Mountain Top
This is a personal tribute to my brother-in-law, who passed away at a young age without any warning. He had a very special connection with my music. Without his support, Piano Pop likely never would have been recorded. I was honored to play this arrangement of his favorite hymn at the conclusion of the funeral service.

Mountain Dreams
When I was invited to perform at a special Olympic reception in February 2002, the head of entertainment encouraged each performer to write a song for the Winter Games. I took his suggestion to heart, partly because the Games were in Salt Lake City, making a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me to be personally involved. I hope this song encompasses the victories and sorrows of the Olympics and ultimately allows you to feel the spirit of the Games.
