“She stepped away from me and she moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her move here and move there
And then she went homeward with one star awake
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake”

Tara Novak shines on violin and also contributes too many of the arrangements on the album.

She has performed with Disney''s "The Lion King," Rod Stewart, and Mannheim Steamroller.

He has recorded along with Kenny Garrett, Thomas Chapin, John Hollenbeck, Theo Bleckmann, Jerome Kitzke, Benny Rietveld and Tiger Okoshi.

He was assistant to the director of The English Bach Festival, London and is currently artistic director of Music Theatre Ireland who’s productions have included Kander and Ebbs The World Goes Round , Red Hot & Cole, The Glorious MGM Musicals, The Great American Songwriters Series, Noel and Gertie, A New York Songbook, Simply Sondheim and I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.
