A unique blend of jazz, neoclassicism, expressionism and Spirit.
When God gives you a gift you have two choices: Use it for your own glory or share it for His glory. The latter is better.

Story behind the song
This was the first song God gave me after I lost my mother to cancer at 16 years old. I started writing it on July 4th (Hence the name "Holiday Rag") and finished later in the summer of 1984. I revised it a little in the following year after graduating from high school and being refused by a publisher in Denver. I still can't play this piece, but I am working on it. It was selected by a New York based music library for future commercial use (hopefully soon). This was also the first piece I copyrighted. The recording is a realistic sounding sequenced version. www.dreamintoreality.us
