Finding Me Again is a collection of ten original compositions. They include compositions on solo piano, and also synthesizer keyboards. It's very mellow, perfect to play for background ambience, times of meditation or relaxation, or just to bring a sense of peace to the close of a chaotic day.

I began recording this music in November of 2009, starting with "November Frost." For me, the Thanksgiving holiday marks the starting point of my annual self-review. It's an intense process where I look at myself over the just ending year and decide what I'm going to do with me. Some of the things, the practices, the habits, the quirks and foibles that I've picked up over the year need to become permanent. Others need to be discarded. It's exhilarating and discouraging, happy and sad, rewarding and disappointing, all rolled up into the season of joy that is the month of December.

This music was born of that introspection. If you listen, you can perhaps begin to understand what I feel as I look hard at myself. Every year, when I complete this pilgrimage, I'm better for it, and feel better about myself as a result. It's beyond me how people can simply go through their lives and never take a good look at who's looking back from behind the looking glass. I, for one, must do that. And at least this time, I journaled the journey... in music. I hope you learn something, like I did!

Please note that all the music on this CD is available free for download from this site. The CD is available if you don't have an MP3 player, want to play the music in your car, or otherwise have use for a CD.

Disclaimer: If you're a sound engineer, you'll immediately recognize that, though this music was recorded by an accomplished pianist, it was not recorded by an accomplished sound technician, or processed by an accomplished sound engineer. It was all done by me, by myself. It's not bad, but I've got a long way to go and a lot to learn about how to record acoustic piano, and how to turn those recordings into a great CD.
