You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

She has a beautiful voice if only she'd use it more. I'm currently working on an arrangement using the Yamaha Tyros 5 keyboard.
