about

Born of water and into light, we seek the water to refresh our
souls and turn our faces to the light to renew us. Our life goes in
this circle from birth until our last breath. We have a choice in
how we fill this time in between. The passage of time makes it
easier to see what is truly important. These songs represent love
for those past and present. It brings the elements into the music
and into our hearts. Those moments help hold our memories.
This is Scott’s 16th recording and was composed to create a sense
of peace and heartfelt emotion. His guitarist of 33 years, Van
Manakas, plays seamlessly with Scott, and Holly Reeves, Cello, is
an inspiration. This trio has been the foundation for some of
Scott’s most beautiful music since he began recording in 1978.
The recording opens with Wedding Lanterns, written for his
daughter’s wedding. It is full of hope and love that a father has
for his child. Another piece, Ascending Angels, is in memory of
beloved friends, and musicians, that have passed over the past
couple years. Never will they be forgotten and always held close
in the heart. The ending composition on the CD, Last Snow, is a
beautiful retrospective of a quiet space filled with hope for the
future.
