Bygone Days offers a slow, nostalgic rendition, one which is likely to have appealed to Archie & Edith Bunker.

Alone Together features an acoustic piano trio that sets a romantic mood to enhance a quiet evening.

You can breathe a sigh of relief when you're just a Hop, Skip and Jump away from finishing an onerous task. Our arrangement features solo vibes backed by acoustic piano, guitar, bass and drums.

Chasin' Sanborn recalls the old Chase & Sanborn advertisement: "What Mr. Chase didn't know about coffee, Mr. Sanborn did".

In their 1945 recording the Andrews Sisters reminded us that you get no bread with Juan Meatball.

Meet John Dough celebrates the leading role played by Gary Cooper in a 1941 Frank Capra movie.

It's Friday at 6:00 PM, Happy Hour at the local watering hole, which is packed shoulder-to-shoulder with aspiring yuppies. Each guy whispers to a young lady, pretending to care, while each young lady listens hopefully, pretending not to care.

In Love Again is a medium-tempo arrangement of a romantic scope that features mellow vibraphone and acoustic piano backed by acoustic bass and drums.

As you stroll down the Avenue des Champs-Élysées you pass un vieux musicien Parisien performing a wistful tune, Monmartre, on a beaten-up French accordion. Alors, merci pour les souvenirs !

Perspicacity is a driving be-bop number that features mellow vibes backed by an insightful acoustic piano trio.

Wishing Well features a solo rubato electric guitar performed in the jazz guitar style popularized by the late John Paul "Bucky" Pizzarelli.

Cuchi FedEx Man celebrates yet another on-time package delivery by the guy in the big white van.

Our album's title tune, She Waits, received inspiration from Stephen Kasun's namesake oil painting, which adorns our album cover.

Our final offering, a reluctant toe-teaser entitled Two Left Feet, is scored in 13/4 time. Each 13-beat bar is phrased 3-3-4-3.
