Take Me There by the Louis Romanos Quartet

I haven't reviewed any music on this blog, not because I don't like music, I do, I love it in fact.  My tastes are eclectic.  Some things I like are not necessarily what is popular today.  So I've stayed away from music as a reviewer.

But a friend of mine introduced me to the new CD Take Me There by the Louis Romanos Quartet.  It was love at first hearing.

All original songs, the CD is a beautiful work.  I'm hard pressed to name a favorite cut.  All of the music is distinctive and unique.

These are talented musicians who come together to make sublime music.  It has a hint of smooth jazz, of spiritual music (i.e. some contemporary Native American music like that of Carlos Nakai), and an ethereal quality all its own.

If you like listening to music after a stressful day, this one's for you.  It is lovely, calming music that will take you to another place as your cares melt away...

Honestly, I haven't heard such evocative tunes in many years.  This music transcends your daily cares and woes, taking you away to a place of serenity.

I predict great things for these talented men. Check out the link below to hear selections from the album and to purchase it.

A Native Floridian, I lived most of my life in Texas.  After many years working for various government agencies in the state of Texas, I retired.  With my upbringing I'm a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan, and have learned to love the Texas Longhorns, too.  Hook 'em!!!  My favorite spectator sport is football.  Am I a naturalized Texan, or what?!!
After the last six years in my native state of Florida, I still like the Cowboys and the Longhorns. My father passed away at the end of 2015. Now I'm taking time to work through the stress and pain of his death. My poor little Shih Tzus both lost weight over the last few months. Now I'm focused on them, feeding them very well, giving them extra love and attention. We went through everything together.
I was adamant about returning to Texas when I first moved here.  But after looking at the realities I'm reconsidering such a move.  I may well stay in Florida.
No matter where I am, I will continue with the blog and writing my novels. I'm about 1/4 of the way through my fourth novel. But because it's healing time for me, too, I'm not rushing to finish this one. I'm taking time to breathe and watch the birds around our lake.
