One of my favorite songs, Stardust is a meandering melody that leads down the garden path of pure poetry to a place where wistful memories dwell, heartfelt yearnings are indulged and meteoric passions shoot across the vistas of the mindscape, leaving behind only the glimmer of stardust and lingering love.

LYRICS
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart.
High up in the sky, the little stars climb,
Always reminding me that we're apart.
You wander down the lane and far away,
Leaving me a song that will not die.
Love is now, the Stardust of yesterday,
The music of the years, gone by.
1
Sometimes I wonder, why I spend
The lonely night, dreaming of a song?
The melody, haunts my reverie,
And I am once again with you,
When our love was new,
And each kiss an inspiration.
But, that was long ago,
Now my consolation,
Is in the Stardust of a song
2
Beside a garden wall,
When stars are bright,
You are in my arms.
A nightingale tells his fairy tale,
Of paradise where roses bloom.
Though I dream in vain,
In my heart, it will remain,
My Stardust melody,
The memory of love's refrain.

Music That Transports You
As a performer of vintage music, I like to take people on a joyful time-traveling journey. As you’re listening, I hope
you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to the past - - maybe it’s a swank Supper Club in Manhattan, an intimate Parisian Cabaret, an elegant London Ballroom, or to Hollywood’s Golden Age - - or maybe you’ll just drift on the music, back to your own memories....more
