  • Smooth Operator
    This Sade classic is great for setting the mood at a party.  Vocals: Ellen Bullinger, Guitar: Brian Celardo, Bass: Saadi Zain, Drums: Arnold Wise (electronic V-drums), Keys and harmonies: Michael Walsh

  • I Will Be Here For You
    This is one of my favorite Al Jarreau songs.  Vocals and everything else: Michael Kevin Walsh

  • What the World Needs Now Is Love
    Until September 11th, I worked in the World Trade Center for my day job. During September, October and November I was at home most of the time while my company worked on our relocation. My dear friends Wade Kelley, Ellen Bullinger and I wanted to put our energy into something to help us cope and so we made this recording of this song. Then we got Arnie Wise to put on a drum part and Bobby Supino to give us a guitar part.

  • Killing Me Softly
  • The Very Thought Of You
    Vocals: Ellen Bullinger, Guitar: Brian Celardo, Bass: Saadi Zain, Drums: Arnold Wise, Keys and harmonies: Michael Walsh

  • Route 66
    Just me on the keys with a little drum machine having a good time with this old jazzy standard.

  • Love That Will Stay
    This is one of the very, very few songs I have ever written. Sang some harmonies with myself and layed down some synth strings and oboe along with the guitar keyboard sound.

  • Rocket Man
    This is one of my favorite Elton John songs. Lots of midi sequencing here, just me and the computer playing everything and singing some harmonies with myself too.

  • Baby, It's Cold Outside
    Recorded with Ellen Bullinger a couple of years ago for a holiday collection. It is always one of my favorite songs of the season.

  • This Masquerade
    Here, I am singing and playing with some of my favorite musicians: Arnold Wise on drums, Erwin Brea on bass and Noah Chase playing some very tasty guitar with a little George Benson-inspired vocal and guitar solo.

  • Secret O' Life
    Ellen Bullinger is singing the vocal on this. It is one of our favorite James Taylor songs.

  • Mysterioso
    This is an original instrumental that I created when I was first enjoying the midi sequencing on the computer. Lovely soundtrack for something.

  • Lush Life
    The Billy Strayhorn classic is one of my favorites.

  • You Are There
    This is a David Frishberg song that was given to me many years ago. I had the pleasure of hearing him sing it in the Oak Room not long ago.

  • Unforgettable
    Nat King Cole is one of my favorite voices of all time and this song is, of course, essential for weddings, parties, etc.
