Disc 2 of 2.  The forecast says it will hit 103 here today and this is cool summertime concert music, so I make no apologies.

I've never heard of this musician, but if I were browsing through a record store and saw this, that cover art would catch my eye and make me want to look at the back to  learn more.

I've been meaning to dust off Waves of Dreams for some time now and haven't got around to it.  Maybe today's the day.
