about

When you are looking forward to seeing someone after an extended separation, the hours and minutes before their arrival seem to go so slowly. One summer, after my wife and kids went out of town for a week and I missed them dearly. The day before they returned, I wrote and produced this track. The regular, slow beat reminds me of the anticipation. Sometimes, waiting leads to daydreaming and getting excited just imagining being back together, and the middle section jumps into a frenzy of rhythm and runs. Finally reality sets in again, and I'm still waiting...longing for that homecoming.

Michael Wayne Smith Portland, Oregon

Michael Wayne Smith is a classically trained pianist. He explores instrumental and vocal on a neo-classical music canvas washed with jazz, bluegrass, baroque, and ethnic overtones.

Michael currently lives with his wife in the the Portland, Oregon area.
