Video 1: I Found Love (Cindy's Song)
Here is a beautiful song made famous by BeBe Winans. I have performed this song several times at weddings and it is a beautiful processional.
Video 2: How Deep Is Your Love
Here's a video of my performance at Baytowne Wharf on Valentine's Day 2009. Sorry about the video being dark - the lighting in the background was causing the camera to overcompensate. I'll do better next time! There are many more videos on YouTube. This link will get you to them:

Video 3: For You
In May 2011 I was asked to learn "For You" and perform it at a wedding - it's the great Kenny Lattimore song. Here is the result - and it is a wonderful addition to any wedding!
Video 4: Besame Mucho
Video 5: Comin' Home Baby
Here is a fun tune recorded at Summerplace Inn in Destin, FL. Thanks so much to the terrific and fun staff of the hotel for allowing me to post them having a great time at this function! For a great hotel bargain, within walking distance to Destin's pristine beaches, I highly encourage you to check them out at www.summerplaceinn.com
Video 6: Stranger on the Shore
Here's a slide show and an audio file of me playing Acker Bilk's "Stranger on the Shore". Acker is a clarinet player and this song made Acker a famous man in the 60's. I did it on soprano sax and on this arrangement I recorded the (straight) soprano sax solo as well as the piano and "eerie pads" sounds. The guitar solo is by a great player named David Martin, who lives in Nashville, TN. Thanks also to my lifelong friend Dave Chambliss for recording me playing this at his studio and for working on the track to get it all balanced right.
In this video I am playing both the keyboard (Tyros 2 arranger) and my tenor sax on the beautiful John Lennon song "Imagine".
Video 8: My Funny Valentine
Like Chet Baker and Gerry Mulligan? Here's a video of me paying homage to these two greats. "My Funny Valentine" is a jazz classic and I loved playing this special tribute to Chet and Gerry. Hope you like my version!
Video 9: Rio De Janeiro Blue
I got tired of trying to find an existing backing track for this terrific song, so I did my own! I recorded the backing track on my Tyros 2 keyboard. Once the track was complete, I recorded the sax part using my little curvie soprano. Love that thing! Hope you like this video! PS - if you "right click" on the video, you can zoom it to fill your whole screen - hope you enjoy the beauty of the song and the pics!
