A Message about my CD from its insert:
Friends Old and New,
I hope you enjoy "Passage to Home", the first recording of my solo piano compositions. I've tried to make as full a use as possible of the amazing versatility of the piano, the world's favorite musical instrument. Thus, you'll find on this recording a touch of classical, a hint of jazz, and a dash of rock, as well as the sounds of country, New Age, gospel, blues, and ballad. It's all about the piano !
Brief Autobiography:
Dan Starr, born 2/12/52, living in my beautiful hometown of Tucson, Arizona. Full time recording artist, performer, music teacher, and author of piano instruction manuals.

Listened...with joy and anticipation
author: Matt Moon, music critic, "The Desert Leaf"Starr creates a wide range of scenes in his debut recording. Some are light and lilting, like clouds floating above the desert on a springtime afternoon. Others dance along hurriedly, like children chasing butterflies....Not since George Winston's "December" have I listened to a solo piano recording over and over again with such joy and anticipation.
..."Passage to Home" provides a mix of moods and styles.
author: Ray Williamson, Senior CitizenDan Starr's piano music is thoroughly enjoyable. As promised, in "Passage to Home" he provides a mix of moods and styles. After listening to his CD I bought several more for friends.
Dan's "Passage to Home" helped ease my pain.
author: Kim Babeu, Personal TrainerLast year I lost my only sister and my mother within 9 days of each other. The shock and grief were overwhelming. Dan's "Passage to Home" helped ease my pain. It created and opened pathways for healthy communication. It has set the stage for some of my most productive introspection. It allows for a gentle hand and a time to think.
These songs touch the entire spectrum of human emotions
author: Mike Pavon, BusinessmanSolo piano recordings are generally appreciated by classical enthusiasts or used only as background music. Dan Starr's "Passage to Home" is NOT one of these. These songs touch the entire spectrum of human emotions. My three year old triplets love these songs!
