This is one of the most meaningful moments in my career! My cinematic re-imagining of HAPPY THE MAN has debuted at #1 on the New Age Notes Radio Chart - a milestone that carries a remarkable piece of music history with it. The song was written by the great Sebastian Temple as part of the Catholic Folk Revival of the 60's, which inspired millions of people around the world for decades, but this song, and his work, has never appeared on a mainstream international music chart! That makes this more than a personal honor; it marks the first time one of Temple's timeless compositions has reached the charts. I'm so deeply grateful to everyone who listened, shared, requested the song, and helped introduce this beautiful music to a new generation. I truly believe that Sebastian is smiling!

The musicologist in me always takes a deep dive into researching my subject matter when I'm composing. Before I started arranging HAPPY THE MAN, I bought Sebastian Temple's ORIGINAL 1967 folk album at auction. The album itself has been out of print for over four decades and has become a collectible. The cover graphics are so thoroughly 60's Pop Art! Don't you love this style of art??!! It's always filled with happiness, hope and love!
