| Track #1 Amazing Grace - JoEllen | ||||
| Perhaps as no other song, Amazing Grace speaks to the core of personal faith. | ||||
| Track #2 My Heart Will Go On (Theme from The Titanic) - Jack | ||||
| This quiet resolution to the pathos of loss accents the hope of a love that transcends tragedy. | ||||
| Track #3 Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Jack and JoEllen | ||||
| When clouds cover the sky in your life, rest in quiet assurance and sweet optimism. | ||||
| Track #4 One Plus One Is One - Jack and JoEllen | ||||
| Nurturing world peace is the passion and ministry of Julie Secrest, elementary school teacher and mayor of Delaware, Ohio, "The City of Peace". Julie shared her "peace dream" with Jack and JoEllen at lunch one day. The next morning Jack awoke with the score of One Plus One Is One. JoEllen expressed her faith in youth bringing world peace to reality through verse two. May this message of hope serve as the thematic heart of this project. | ||||
| Track #5 Madeline/Jenny's Waltz - Jack | ||||
| Two stories co-mingle to commemorate two beautiful life events: | ||||
| The cross-country, American Orient Express train stopped briefly in Chicago with Jack playing as solo pianist. His arrival coincided with Madeline's birth (Jack's first granddaughter). Actually Jack was the first to hold her in his arms. | ||||
| A bride with warmth and fire in her dark eyes stood at the alter recently awaiting her handsome groom. Jenny had eyes for one other man in the room, however, her dad, Jack. | ||||
| Track #6 You'll Never Walk Alone - Jack and JoEllen | ||||
| Whatever storm one faces, it is never faced alone. | ||||
| Track #7 The Man I Love/Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man of Mine - Jack | ||||
| Two great composers, George Gershwin and Jerome Kern were the inspiration for this piano arrangement. | ||||
| Track #8 More I Cannot Wish You - Jack and JoEllen | ||||
| A timeless wish and a "bottom line" human value..."I wish you love, and strong arms to carry you away." | ||||
| Track #9 Blame It On My Youth - Jack and JoEllen | ||||
| Every now and then a rare musical gem is offered. This 1934 tune by Oscar Levant reveals a simple personal genius in multi-faceted form. | ||||
| Track #10 Danny Boy - Jack and JoEllen | ||||
| Chosen for its steadfast depiction of friendship, love, and hope, this song has become a second anthem for our dear friends in Ireland. | ||||
| Track #11 The Triumph of Love - Jack and JoEllen | ||||
| This original song by Jack expresses fundamental principles of a love "that casts out fear" and confidently reaches for the stars. | ||||
| Track #12 How Can I Keep From Singing - JoEllen | ||||
| The indomitable spirit of hope was sung to a granddaughter over one hundred years ago. | ||||
| This favorite song was carried deep within the girl's heart in celebration and remembrance of universal peace. | ||||
| Track #13 Images - Jack | ||||
| Through a variety of chordal colors, this tune allows introspection. | ||||
| Track #14 Count Your Blessings - Jack and JoEllen | ||||
| Irving Berlin is well known for being able to take universal themes and presenting them simply. This tune, first recorded by Bing Crosby, is the expression of the theme of personal abundance in daily life. | ||||
| Track #15 (Theme from) The Apartment - Jack | ||||
| In a terrific arrangement of this composition, the Steinway Grand casts a spell; moody, energetic and powerful. | ||||
| Track #16 When I Grow Too Old To Dream - Jack and JoEllen | ||||
| Experiencing memories is, we are told, only an inch away from experiencing the actual event. Thus, the beauty of growing older with special memories is expressed tenderly in this sweet old song ... in fact, it weaves a tapestry of dreams for JoEllen as she remembers her grandfather's tenor voice and a mother's hands playing this song on the family spinet piano. | ||||
| Track #17 I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables - Jack and JoEllen | ||||
| In this song from Les Miserables, the character Fantine expresses that life has killed her dream. It is not uncommon for people to view this moment as one of despair. The One + One interpretation, however is one of hope for the receiving heart. | ||||
| Track #18 You And The Night And The Music - Jack and JoEllen | ||||
| From the 1934 musical, Revenge With Music, this offering is a sultry, intense Latin rhythm; sensuous and evocative. Jack came upon this song at the 11th hour. It exists in striking contrast on a number of levels to the rest of the project. | ||||
