Recent CD's 

The Composer - a collection of some of Mike's favorite original compositions from my last 15 CDs. The CD also includes rerecorded solo piano versions of some of his most popular pieces including, Floating, I’ll See You Again, Traveling On, and Watching the World Go By.

Touch The Sky

Touch The Sky - Contains all new compositions by Mike, along with two new arrangements of earlier compositions.  It's entirely solo piano.  If you remember Mike's first CD 'Floating', this has some of the same feel.  A combination of a piano concert and a movie soundtrack.  Very engaging, entertaining, and relaxing.

Song titles include: The Circus Waltz, Touch the Sky, Skippin' Along, My True Love, The Emperor's Return, I Can Fly (Di's Theme), A Promise For Romance, Pretty Money, Little Song, Lullaby Of The Rain.

All Time Piano Favorites

All Time Piano Favorites - Over the years, certain songs keep being requested again and again.  Mike has finally gathered these together in one CD called 'All Time Piano Favorites'.  Put on this CD at home or in your car and it's like having your own private piano player. All solo piano. 

Song titles include: Time Goes By, Somewhere My Love, Send In the Clowns, Music Box Dancer, Young At Heart, Last Date, Moon River, Wouldn't It Be Loverly, Canadian Sunset, and Through The Eyes Of Love (Theme from Ice Castles).

Elizabeth's First Piano CD!
Elizabeth's First Piano CD!

My 11 year-old daughter, Elizabeth Strickland, has quietly been recording behind the scenes and we want to share this CD with you.  These pieces are all classical and include:  Chopin's A minor Waltz, 2 Bach preludes, Bartok, Schumann, Schostakowich, and the recently recorded 3 Spanish Dances by Granados.  Another highlight on the CD is a live recording of the Hadyn Piano Concerto in C major with Elizabeth on piano along with 12 violinists and 4 cellists from the Black Hills Symphony Orchestra.  

You'll love this CD!  We are still amazed that she has taken to the piano the way she has.  Truthfully, I must credit my genius wife, Kristi who works with her consistently and her most wonderful piano teacher, Cassandra Carr here in Seattle. All proceeds from the sale of this CD will go to Elizabeth's future music education.
