With Special thanks to all of you, for your love and prayers. After having been diagnosed with a very rare and incurable disease in 2013, I was unable to work. I began walks along the beautiful beaches of Santa Cruz, California and attended Mass daily. I played the songs you hear on this CD. This became my medicine and I believe my healing.

On Sept. 1, 2010 "Beyond Words" CD is released. John's newest CD is solo piano instrumental performed by his dear friend, Tom Tomasello. The compilation CD of both some of your favorites and well as a few new tunes compose what we think will be one of your favorite instrumental CD's. It is reflective, inspirational, and a fulfilling listening experience.
