I created this song after a day hiking the Makapu’u lighthouse trail on Oahu.  The cover art is a photo taken from the top of the trail.  A mesmerizing view of the deep blue water with whales and sea birds in clear sight.  All the while breathing in the crisp ocean air.  Visit this iconic landmark if you get the chance!

Summer is the time when most of us are out and about, taking a break from work and school.  A season where memories are made, leaving us wanting more.  Perhaps “Summer Serenade” will extend that endless summer feeling long after the season is over!

With the release of vaccinations for the pandemic I was hopeful at the time that normal living was just around the corner.  I composed this piece “Moving On” to bid aloha (goodbye) to the pandemic with hope and exuberance.
