"For this recording and concert program I chose these tunes for their variety and because of what each one has meant to me down through the years. I love the summer anywhere, but especially out in Pennsylvania: the Delaware River, the herons, egrets and bull frogs down at the lake’s edge, the bats, blue jays and barn swallows, and especially the sights and sounds of a summer night: tree frogs, crickets, owls, fireflies and the 'click-click' of the katydids. Here is my Summer Sketches program."
