This CD is loaded with some of my best types of music. It has Caribbean and

Island Curiosity

Island Curiosity
Frank Tuma
Cover Art: “Great Blue Herons”
By: Max Hayslette

These very interesting songs come from the 60s and 70s. All the young folks
at that time were very into these hot dancing songs. The singers were also
idolized as well. However, not so much for me, because I was into lots of
education so that I could help us beat the other countries to our Moon.
Since I was blind in my left eye, I could not be an astronaut, but I helped train
them and helped figure out solutions to launch and space equipment
problems.

Island Lullaby

Island Lullaby
Frank Tuma
Cover Art: “Chamomile Garden Butterflies”
By Ginette Calloway
This is a special CD for my daughter, Laura, and her son and daughter, Drake and Amber. Amber has a beautiful daughter, Brooklynn, who needs some lullabies. Drake and Amber spent the summers with me on Pine Island, Florida, each summer from 5 until about 10-11 years old. We would camp out on the islands next to the Gulf of Mexico beside a campfire and fall asleep to the waves washing up on the beach. I would play the songs on my little accordion and tell them sailing stories of various adventures I had in the Caribbean.

Island Guardians

Island Guardians
Frank Tuma
Cover Art: “Good Day Sunshine”
By Carolyn Steele

This CD was difficult. I just couldn’t come up with good orchestra music and
the solo instrument music was very difficult to make it sound like real
instruments. Many days I would say, “it just isn’t in me today,” but the next
day the music just flowed out of me, and tears would roll down my face.
It all came together very well. 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.”

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

Please listen and enjoy.

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 Wonders

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.
