My 4th collection of original tunes for Steel Pan, entitled "The Panoramic View," is now available.  The book features 20 songs in lead sheet style (melodies and chords) for small combos to play.  For soloists and students, every tune comes with backing tracks featuring a "band" behind the player.  My other collections, “Sea Breeze,” “Chasing Summer,” and “Put It Behind You,” are also available through Tropical Shores Productions.  I'm very interested in working with bands, arrangers, and players to adapt the music for YOUR needs!
