The Moment - Kenny G - absolutely beautiful on the harp!

Wonderful Tonight - written by Eric Clapton, this one is perfect to play in many settings.

Stephen Foster Collection - includes "Slumber My Darling," "Beautiful Dreamer," "I Dream of Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair," "My Old Kentucky Home," and several others - 8 familiar songs.

Carol Ann - composed by Michael W Smith for piano, someone called this "elegant" when I played it recently at a music tasting.

Cry Out to Jesus - by Third Day, winner of the Dove Award for song of the year.

Hector the Hero - a lovely Scottish lament by J. Scott Skinner.

Quiet Centre Medley - includes both "Come and Find the Quiet Centre" and "Alone Yet Not Alone."
