October 2023
And now that our ‘Me and You’ song is available- another sneak peak….Shhhh A new instrumental was just submitted to CDBaby today by Ed on piano and his percussionist co-writing partner, Kerry Kennard:)
It's called ‘Night Jam.’ Latin feel. So cool. Love it! As soon as it's out, you'll be the first to know:)
As long as we were releasing songs...we decided to give you another sneak peek, this time towards Ed's upcoming piano instrumental album. So...we submitted another song for release- Adagio from the Concerto No. 3 in D minor by J.S. Bach. It's the first non-original one so far (note the composer:) Can't wait for it to clear 'officially.' So we'll have two new releases in one month! For two upcoming albums...
Excited- just clicked on 'Submit for Distribution' for the first Children's Song Single of our upcoming Third Children's CD! It's in the Inspection Cue of CDBaby. The song is called 'Me and You,' also featured in an upcoming podcast later this month. It's a spirited song of friendship and unity:) Elyse Orecchio, our talented daughter, is partner singing with me on the new release, and Ed both co-wrote and played a zillion instruments on the recording:) Can't wait till it's 'official!'
UPDATE on “Me and You” - It's ‘officially’ out on all streaming platforms. AND- Go to the REVIEWS Page to see what's already been said about it!!!! So exciting:) Want to download a copy, add it to a playlist? Spread the word? You can do just that on our Children's Page and also in our Store:)

June/July 2023
Does shoulder tendonitis get Ed down? Well, it's only temporary. In the meantime, although he needs to take an instrument playing break, we're going to the recording studio to mix and master already recorded new piano instrumentals. A new CD is in the making; a single or two will proceed the full album. We'll let you know as SOON as we release the new music!
We have 3 more Queens library gigs coming up in August. By then he should hopefully be fine.
And...we are collaborating with talented Kerry Kennard, percussionist, composer and arranger. Could another project with piano and percussion be happening in the not-so-distant future? It sure could! We'll let you know more about that too, as we go.
