When You Smile
My dear friends Matt and Heidi got hitched last fall up in the Rockies and asked me to play some tunes on the acoustic geetar during their ceremony. Feeling inspired and honored and sentimental in many ways, I decided to compose four pieces for the ceremony. ‘Twas a relatively easy task since Matt and Heidi are an inspiring couple and I was staying at a hotel surrounded by the mountain peaks.
The first two songs were performed as guests arrived and took their seats. III was strummed as the bride and groom and their crew and family came up the aisle. And, IV was the joyous post-ceremony tune. I performed solo with just a geetar and harmonica.
Shortly after the wedding I decided to record these tunes and was very fortunate to have three fantastic Saint Louis musicians help sculpt the tunes. They greatly assisted in taking some bare compositions and inspiring new directions. And here it is now!
Enjoy! Put it on during a mellow Sunday afternoon or weekday morning and catch a rocky breeze.
