From the artist: “One day I was Scuba diving on the Santa Rosa reef off the coast of Cozumel, Mexico, when a haunting melody come to me. It was a drift dive, and as I drifted between the beautiful coral heads, I kept hearing this melody in my head, over and over, an underwater melody.” “Later that day I went back to the cruise ship where I was working as the solo piano player, and wrote the melody down. And now it is the title song for this CD of my original music.” “Every summer for the past 10 years I have had a “Working Vacation” where I perform as the solo piano player for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. Much of the music you will hear on this CD was inspired by the exotic places I have visited on the ships. “Living in the Passion of Love” was inspired by a visit to Paris, France, “Barcelona” is a tribute to the wonderful city of Barcelona, Spain, my home port for three summers, and “Walking through Venice” was written while walking along the canals of the most beautiful city in the world, Venice, Italy.”
