Heroes Of The Valley : 13:20

A colleague and friend of mine, Geoff Hansen, is a wonderful photographer that lives here in the Napa. He's also on the Board Of Directors with me for the Arts Council Napa Valley.  After finishing the "Yosemite High Hike", I was ready to take on another similar project.
I was, and still am, enjoying Geoff's  photo's of wineries, vineyards, etc. and related content that  he would post on FaceBook. So I sent Geoff a link to Yosemite High Hike and asked him to send me a collection of photo's that were related to the Napa Valley's Harvest season(s),  and that I would like to do a similar project  with his vineyard related photo's. Well, he did just that. But what I discovered with his photo's was a story about the Hero's Of The Valley!  Needless to say the story developed so that  when you open that bottle of wine at home, you will have an understanding of how that wine got into the bottle. So with Geoff's photo's and my Composition, " Hero's Of The Valley", it developed. 
  By the way.....  if you can, have a beverage of your choice and give yourself  13:20 to watch.  
​Hope you enjoy!

​Nick Burdick's - Yosemite - High Hike : 9:30


Nick Burdick, a fellow Napa  Instrumental Music Teacher, Writer and avid Hiker posted a few pictures on his instagram, @nickthehiker, about his Yosemite “High Hike”.  After looking over them, I thought it might be a fun project to compose a sound track to his adventure. I contacted Nick with my idea and he soon  sent me over 80 plus photos of his hike. I ended up selecting 50 photos and started too organized the photos into a story line. As I was doing so, I was thinking about the texture, structure, sound effects and instrumentation of the soundtrack. One thing led to another and the video was done. The person that you’ll see in the video is Nick’s hiking partner, Konstantin Yakovenko, a software engineer in Bellingham Washington. Konstantin has pictures of Nick, but we haven’t been able to retrieve those photos. Hopefully we will and I’ll be able to spice them in!

​Jupiters Dance : 30 second gingle
Samba with A Twist : 30 second gingle


These two short "diddies/gingles" were designed as "Commercial" background music for my Step Daughters  Pod Cast Series - Sex Ed. With DB , now coming into her 4th season. She is currently at Columbia Univ. New York  getting her Masters Degree in Public Health.  Her pod casts are very impressive, informative and filled with real public information.   Take a listen!  You can find her on Apple Pod Casts. 
Obviously, these were fun small projects that I got a few chuckles out of. (By the way, Jupiter is our cat!)

​Napa Valley College Performance of In Motion- Nov. 24, 2019 

Sandy Walters,  an excellent  musician & Alto Sax player, handed me a CD of this Concert. So I have decided to add the recording of "In Motion" to my media collection. This was a very nice surprise of which I sincerely appreciate. You can actually hear Sandy playing the sax solo  in the Andante Section  of the composition. She's playing the solo on soprano sax and just does a wonderful with the interpertation of the intent. Thank you Sandy! 
The recording is a bit boomy in some areas, simply due to the Theater accustics. But it does capture the essences of the composition. Hope you enjoy!
