Momenté Intimate is a reflection of the intimate moments in our daily lives - not just the intimate physical moments of two lovers. Many of our most intimate moments are when we are alone, with our thoughts, with nature, or even with God.

It has been over two years since I released American Reflection. Many changes have occurred in my life -- some good, some very difficult to deal with. As always, the feelings and emotions of this period is reflected in the music. At times the intensity of some of the recording sessions was almost too much. I hope we captured those moments for you --- many of them were quite magical.

This project is the result of recording sessions dating from November 2001 to August 2003. Believe me when I say that this was the hardest set of cuts to trim to the resulting ten compositions presented here. Have no fear, the last three cuts eliminated will appear on a future release.

Once again, we attempted to preserve the recordings as intact as possible as they poured from the piano during the recording sessions. We have been experimenting to improve the sound with each CD. Technically, this is my best recording to date.

I hope you will enjoy Momenté Intimate. Hope it was worth the wait.


Dedication - This project is dedicated to my grandmother Marie Carr who passed away this July after 93 years of a full and wonderful life. She will be missed by all who knew her, but never forgotten.

1. Longing for Home - One's home is where your heart is. Some days you long to be with the one your heart is with -- more than other days, that is.
2. For All Eternity - I will love you ... For All Eternity - The original context of this composition is fully exampled by my grandmother, Marie, who loved her husband with that thought in mind. In July 2003, she joined her husband again, nearly 50 years after his sudden death in 1953.
3. Grandma's Magic Fingers - At family gatherings, any one of the grandchildren would sit next to Grandma and her hand would almost automatically reach up and start to scratch the back - giving a little quiet attention to one while still conversing with everyone else. 4. Awe & Reverence - I have found myself in constant awe of the beauty of nature and God's presence around us in our daily lives. All we have to do is slow down for a brief moment to catch a glimpse, then we are awestruck.
5. Dancing Among the Whispering Pines - Sharing a quiet moment together with that special one -- dancing to the music of the wind through the trees. 6. Lingering Embraces - The feeling that the one who just left is still there - hoping that the feeling will last until he/she returns.
7. Wild Desires of the Heart - The dreams of the heart are often filled with exciting, wild desires of living life to its fullest. 8. Rocking Baby to Sleep - Whether it is a mother or father rocking their newborn baby or two lovers cuddling together until both are asleep -- the tenderness and love expressed is beautiful.
9. Passion's Night - A pair of lovers coming together after being separated for a long period of time. Passion rules the evening. 10. Momente' Intimate - Those moments in our day which are close and intimate. These moments vary from person to person -- from the embrace of two lovers parting to the gently caresses of a grandma's touch across a grandson's back to moments alone in the presence of one of nature's awe-inspiring vistas to moments alone with one's thoughts and memories.
