The title of this CD never really turned me on but all the music within sure did!

I love melodies, tunes, lyrical, linear music. And there is nothing more beautiful than the old standards and occasional pop song that that can be expressed with lovely strings, woodwinds, french horns and the rest of the orchestra. It’s always fun to write these kind of arrangements and this album I got to do quite a few.

It has always been my opinion that if a tune is written properly, it doesn’t matter what genre it came from. It will fit in any genre or style of arrangement.

Dolly Parton’s I Will Always Love You is a very good example. It came from the "country" music scene but it is such a strong melody it can fit in any style. Proof of that when it was released as the them of The Bodyguard and sung by Whitney Houston and proof again for the easy way it lent itself to the orchestra for the arrangement that I wrote for this CD.

So, as I mentioned before, I loved doing the music for this particular CD. It was also a chance for me to play a solo on trombone in the way that I love to play. The producer, at the time, did not know that I started my career as a "studio player" but reluctantly let me have a go. He didn’t complain once he heard the finished product as I remember his comments being rather generous.

The Time of my Life from Dirty Dancing was originally arranged for one of Lalo Schifrin’s albums entitled Romancing The Film. Lalo called and graciously asked for a couple of new things and I was glad to do them. It was nice that they turned out well for I have been able to use them in concerts and re-record them on my own albums.

Well there was lots on this CD and I will list the songs so you can at least, once again, at least see what was on it. You will see that the movie they were used in are listed before the song. Occasionaly, as I mentioned before, you can find these on the web but they are out of print.
