I just love to create music on the piano. In 1996, Quiet Resting Places was released.
It's music that ministered peace to my life after my dad passed away.
Songs like Tender Heart and Spring Rain are some of my favorites as well as the Journey and Comforting Word. We have received many letters, emails, and comments from people who say that stress would melt away as they listened to Quiet Resting Places.
Sail into the Wind is my second offering of music that I created, along with some familiar pieces like Canon in D, Claire De Lune, and Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. I've gotten to know some great musicians here in Tulsa, who have added their wonderful talent and creative ability to this CD. You will hear some wonderful guitar on Canon in D, Violin on New Beginnings, Saxophone on Pilgrim's Progress, and a beautiful flute on Morning Light.
Although my music is all instrumental, we've added some soft vocals on Bach's piece.
I Saw Three Ships is my third CD. It has a few new pieces like Shepherds in the Field, and Glad Tidings. Some of my favorite Carols I recorded on this CD are Silent Night, Away in the Manger, What Child is This?, O Come All Ye Faithful, Joy to the World, and several others. it's become a favorite around Christmas time.
Each of my CDs are at least one hour in length so you can play it while you dine in your home or play it in your office while you work. Several authors have written best selling books while listening to the CDs. It is so rewarding to hear how so many people have benefited in different ways while listening to me play on the piano.
After listening to it just once, they write me and say it's the "most peaceful piano music in the world". Other's say, "Your piano music is so soothing that I listen to it every day." "I play it every night, it helps me go to sleep at night."
"Your piano music is so soothing, it relieves stress." "Your piano music is so anointed, it help me recover while in the hospital." "While driving to work, your music came on the radio and all the bands of stress melted away."
"Daniel, your piano music is what I put on to bring to peace to my home."
"Your music is what I play for my quiet time every morning for years. I never get tired of it. Your music is timeless."
In Tulsa, you can find my music CDs at Kabloom Flower Shop, Wild Birds Unlimited, and Bella Vita Home Designs in Broken Arrow!

Some of my favorite events I like performing for are weddings and receptions.
The one I remember well is the wedding reception for Shawntel Smith, former Miss America from OK. Byron Davis would sing while I played keyboard.
Another fond memory was the time that I played piano for Oklahoma's Four Diamond Restaurant, The Warren Duck Club. I began playing there in the fall of 1993 until 2001.
I met Keven Sorbo while playing there one evening. There was a Sci Fi convention in town and he and some of his friends where with him that evening when he came in.
As a result of this wonderful door opening up for me, more doors opened up such as my appearance on a National TV Talk Show. While playing at the Duck Club, Promoter and Singer I.J. Ganem came in and hired me to play for the Sunday Brunch at the Bravo Restaurant in the Adam's Mark Hotel. Those were some enjoyable times.
My repertoire includes Show Tunes, Classical, Contemporary, Jazz, Movie Theme Songs, Inspirational, and my very own original pieces.
If you are in need of a live musician for your wedding, reception, open house, dinner party, banquet, fund raiser, or some other wonderful occasion, please contact me at:

During the 70's, Daniel enjoyed listening to Contemporary Christian Music Artists such as 2nd Chapter of Acts, Keith Green, Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, The Imperials, Michael Omartian, and others. Their messsage through music, gave Daniel much inspiration and encouragement to keep pursuing his dream to become a recording and performing artist. His mother and father also had a great love for Yeshua, the Prince of Peace, and this was a legacy that they passed on to their five children.
