This CD is a beautiful mix of song styles from the Caribbean from years ago to the present. I remember them with a smile and happiness to bring all this beauty back together.

As time goes by, music changes but not in my mind. So, enjoy and even if you don’t remember these kinds of songs, I’m sure you will love them now.

Island Seclusion

Cover Art: “Hawaiian Hideaway” By Scott Westmoreland

This CD consists of very hot and beautiful songs, stimulated from the countries surrounding the Caribbean and the islands in the Caribbean. If you have been there, you know what I mean.

This music from the wonderful people there have turned me on and stimulated me to compose and arrange music. Please listen and enjoy.

Island Excitement

Cover Art: “Tropic Travels” By Scott Westmoreland

It was fun composing and arranging this rather unusual Caribbean music. The diverse and exciting orchestra background music made it very interesting. It really dramatized the music and this resulted in keeping a smile on my face while I was putting these songs together.
There are unique Cha Cha’s, Rumbas and Sambas, plus other hot rhythms. All of these musical variations will keep you listening with a big smile on your face.
Enjoy!

Yesteryear

This unique music brings back memories of the Caribbean from long ago. It fills me with happiness and a lot of surprise from much earlier sailing in the beautiful and warm waters of the Caribbean.

If you have never been there, this music will give you a preview of a beautiful place to visit.

Enjoy!

Island Path

These beautiful songs from the Caribbean are rhythmic and exciting. The music will surely make you move your feet and make you want to dance. You will even hum and maybe put your thoughts of words to your singing. It is great music to listen to in your car or boat.

We all need music to keep us carefree and happy for the rest of our lives so that we stay “Positive, Happy, and Giving.”

Island Solitude

This CD represents Caribbean music and many of the coastal countries in South America, Atlantic side. The music makes me remember sailing through the Caribbean and enjoying the music from the islands. Folks who listen to this music also recognize the styles and smile about past experiences from the Caribbean.
Enjoy!

Island Waves

To me, there is no music that compares to that from the Caribbean. There is no way I can sit it out and just watch. My feet start moving and I invite my partner to come dance with me.

Dreams come from these episodes that you remember for the rest of your life. If you have not experienced this, you really have to give it a try. You won’t regret it.
Enjoy!

Island Serenity

This  CD  is  very  interesting  because  of  its  many  styles  of  popular  music  of  the  Caribbean.    Even  in  the  musical  introduction,  the  songs  very  quickly  get  to  the  main  theme.    This  allows  them  to  be  a  bit  shorter,  but  very  specific.  This  made  me  very  excited  and  enthused  about  composing  and  arranging  each  song.    You  will  enjoy  the  beauty  and  excitement  as  well.

Purple Clouds

This beautiful music comes from a lot of great memories while sailing around the Caribbean.  The song sounds reflect the wonderful and rhythmic feelings of the folks who live in these places.  We would have interesting discussions long after the bars were closed, because we felt the same way about many things.  It was very difficult to sail away.

Enjoy!

Great Feelings

These songs brought out their “beauty” very quickly, so their time lengths are a bit shorter than usual. The orchestra background music is filled with unusual effects and sounds of nature. The solo instruments change back and forth, and all of these effects end up providing extraordinary sounds and beautiful music. The rhythm instruments are also providing special sounds.

All of these things brought together provide exceptional music.

Enjoy!

Island Sunset Serenade

These song styles come from experiencing beautiful feelings and music. Most are from islands and countries near the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean.

When you have experienced the happiness and love of the people from these locations, you will never forget it, and you will be changed forever.

Enjoy!

Island Voyages

The variation in times from memories of long ago to today’s music is really noticeable and highly appreciated in this wonderful CD.

I had so much pleasure remembering the great sailing trips to the Bahamas and through various parts of the Caribbean. These territories and islands have vastly different styles of music.

This CD is a very interesting variation in music.

Enjoy!

Island Dunes

This CD has many variations of music styles from different times in the history of the United States and the Caribbean. You will be surprised but pleased regarding these songs because you probably haven’t heard this kind of music before.

I am sure you will love these songs. Enjoy!

Island Retreat

CD Number 100 is composed of music that most of my CDs come from … the Caribbean. The songs are full of beautiful life and rhythm. The music comes from the Islands and South America, and they are unmistakable as hot and melodic music.

You will dance and love the songs. Enjoy!

Island Seasons 

There are some very unusual songs with good and hot rhythms on this CD. The music has some interesting sounds that bring out a special effect. You probably won’t find some of these songs anywhere else.

Enjoy!

Island Lights 

The music from the Caribbean is thoroughly represented in this CD.  The beautiful sounds and rhythms from the Islands make us want to dance.  The mysterious and deep melodies of the countries bordering the seas make you want to visit and see the beauty.  Wherever I go, and no matter what I am doing, these beautiful sounds are always with me.

Enjoy!

Island Discovery

This CD provides beautiful rhythms for dancing. The songs also provide deep feelings and love. These movements and feelings go a long way in making your day and keeping you happy. After all, isn’t that what we want and need?

Island Delights

This CD has many music styles that come from beautiful places in and around the Caribbean. Composing and arranging the songs on this CD caused me to feel many emotions. Tears are not just the result of sadness, but are caused by beautiful, deep and exciting situations.

The reason for and exposures to the Arts are for the many different feelings we can experience. These feelings come back many times long after the original exposures to exciting and beautiful times in the past and dreams of the future.

Island Kayakers

These songs are great for dancing or just moving your feet. I had so much fun composing and arranging this music. Happy tears and constant moving my feet and body kept me going and making happy work of this CD.

Our earth is filled with beautiful islands surrounded by sparkling and rising waters. These memories keep me from worrying so much about climate change and cause me to enjoy our incredibly beautiful earth for a while.

Please enjoy this CD.

Island Morning Glow

This CD stretches out the areas from which the music styles come to much further than just the Caribbean. However, these far-away styles of music seem to fit nicely. The primary reason is the rhythms are exciting as well.

I’m very happy with the results, especially for how well they fit together and actually enhance each other. After listening to this CD, I feel happy and excited. I hope it has that effect on you.

The cover art is a painting by Dianna Willman, a well known artist who lives on Pine Island. Dianna is known for capturing the landscape in all its majesty. This scene depicts a beautiful morning on Pine Island.

Island Sunrise

I love to compose and arrange these styles of music. The beauty and power of the oceans surrounding small fragile lands are slowly disappearing. So, we had better enjoy these beautiful places and friendly people before they are gone, and hopefully moved on to higher grounds.

Knowing that all this is slowly but steadily happening causes my music (even though it is happy) to bring tears to my eyes when I put the songs together.

Please enjoy and dream and hope for the best.

Island Thoughts

My experiences in the Caribbean sailing on beautiful waters or enjoying exciting music on shore will never leave me. Composing music from these experiences always takes me back there. Now, when I am composing and arranging the music while looking outside you can tell where my mind is. It is obvious the music is reflecting where the source of the rhythms and feelings come from.

This is mostly from deep feelings from living and loving an exciting and beautiful past. I hope you have these feelings from your past so that you can keep enjoying life.

Island Seaside

This incredibly exciting CD is filled with beautiful and very rhythmic Caribbean songs. When you listen to this music, you will be happy and want to go there and experience the colorful and beautiful waters. The people are happy and excited to see you and will try hard to please you.

When I was composing and arranging the music for this CD I was in great moods while imagining myself on a Caribbean Island enjoying the beauty of the area.

Island Journey

This CD brings back several styles of music from the Nineties.  There are unique sounds that reflect the different kinds of lifestyles that appeared at that time.  Folks felt the importance of all people of the World.  They expressed this  by performing hot dancing, filled  with happy movements and expressions.

Island Painted Ladies

It is difficult to understand how all these different styles of music sound so good with each other. When I put this music together, I must have woven many common feelings into each song. I guess it doesn’t matter what caused it because they turned out great.
Enjoy and dream of a positive and happy life!

Island Life

There is no doubt this music is a reflection of  Caribbean music.  The music  comes from all sides of the beautiful Caribbean waters.  It will eventually make you dream and scheme about traveling there and experiencing all these beautiful sounds.  Keep dreaming!

The cover for this CD is a photo taken by our dear friends, Brian and Nilda, as they watched a tiny frog travel up the leaves of their guava tree.  Track 03 is the song named for this tiny island dweller.

Island Jazz

The music of this CD makes you happy and want to move.  I really had great fun and enthusiasm while composing and arranging these songs.  I wanted to take my time putting these songs together, but I couldn’t slow down.  I was almost dancing while putting this CD together.  When you listen to this music you will understand what I mean.  Enjoy!

Please listen and enjoy.

Island Sunset

This CD is very unique in that it is comprised of Caribbean and New Orleans styles. These places had a close relationship because of their ties to supplies via the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Seas. People could more easily travel back and forth, which further tied these places together … musically and commercially.
 

For me, there is a wonderful correlation between the musical styles. Enjoy!

Island Tides

This CD is another example of the beautiful music of the Caribbean and surrounding territories such as Brazil.  The music came to the Caribbean via the people who moved there from Greece, Spain and other European and African nations who brought their music with them.  The Islands expanded this music into happy and very rhythmic songs with beautiful expressiveness.  One has to have a feeling of happiness and the desire to dance when listening to their beautiful music.  

Please listen and enjoy.

Island Desires

The beautiful and sensitive songs on this CD are from the Caribbean and Central and South America. These styles are very typical to the territories of these countries. You can feel the emotions and almost picture the musicians and dancers and how they are performing, dancing and singing.

Music is a very large part of people’s way of life in Central and South America. Let the music soak into you and feel the emotions.

Please listen and enjoy.

This CD brings back memories of exciting times in our lives. These deep feelings come from experiences around important events … times when we met people who influenced us when we were susceptible or when we traveled to new locations. All of these things caused emotional stimulations assuring us that we would never forget these times and places. Listen, remember, and feel the emotions once again … and enjoy!

You will end up dancing to these songs. The rhythms and background musical variations during the songs will not let you just sit and listen. These songs are very Caribbean and South American in their styles and exciting rhythms. It brings back the sailing trips we have made to the Caribbean and Central America, where their very unique music left us in awe. You will also be similarly affected.
