A collection of some of the world's finest romantic love ballads; what memories will they
rekindle in you? With a range of instrumentation from pure solo acoustic guitar to full
orchestral performance, the gentle rhythms will take you on a journey back. Hear the
familiar melodies. Experience the California coastline and San Diego sunsets. Let the
music take you there.
One of my all time favorite recordings. It was such a pleasure working with
producer Andre Mayeux one on one on this project. Andre and I picked out all
the material (songs), and created a nice blend of commercial, pop, classical and
jazz elements, which were incorporated into the music. All the melodies were featured
on the guitar or acoustic piano with beautiful string arrangements to back up the lead
instruments. This is the recording you want to listen to while driving up the California
coast going to Santa Barbara or Monterey . It's cruising music,
with a touch of R&R. Perfect for an afternoon at one of California's wineries. Can you
tell I love the California lifestyle?
Hope you enjoy the music! David Patt
My wife Sharon and I have lived in Southern California for almost 30 years.
Although I grew up in Louisiana, I feel a real connection with California.
That’s why I was delighted when Steve Hall and Dave Patt asked me to work on
California Dreamin’. Steve’s creative stamp is definitely on this CD. We
could feel his inspiration on each song. I think this CD is a beautiful
collection of songs that represent the best of California.
