Violin & Roses
"Think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it
finds you worthy, shall direct your course." - Kahlil Gibran
On December 11, 2004, two dear friends, Scott and Kathy Kwierant, were married. I played during the ceremony and reception with a wonderful pianist, Matthew Merker. This
classic combination of violin and piano playing timeless love songs brought some extra magic to this memorable day.
My wife Linda said that is was regrettable the music wasn't recorded, so we decided to recreate these duets in the studio as a keepsake for the newlyweds. Everyone that heard these recordings wanted a copy. We decided to add some finishing touches for this public release. This album started with two lovers exchanging vows amid family, friends and laughter . . . Violin & Roses.
