Glenn Hardy

Glenn Hardy, one of our MySpace friends, is a solo pianist and composer. He now lives in Connecticut but was born in California and grew up there in a musically diverse home. His music is classified as Classical/Rock/Jazz. Glenn Hardy has recorded ten CDs of solo piano music and collaborates with his wife, a poet, on vocal and choral works.

My favorite piece from the four available to hear on his MySpace page is The New Day, a beautiful, melodic piano piece which reminds me of the music2work2 sessions in which the piano is the sole voice, such as Boys Bedtime Music or Emma's Numbers.

Check out the work of Glenn Hardy.

Piano Man John

One of our newer friends on MySpace.com is Piano Man John. John Pederson is from California and is a pianist-keyboardist. His music reminds me a lot of music2work2 sessions, and in fact, is referred to as "Healing and Easy Listening." John Pederson's Themes of Love, which is one of my favorites on his MySpace page (along with First Anniversary) reminds me of music2work2's Boys Bedtime Music. Both are piano pieces which are relaxing and calming. As with music2work2, Piano Man John often combines other voices with the piano, but the four examples of his music on his MySpace page are the piano alone.
