Love Songs by Mike Bjella and Dan Reynolds
In December 2016, pianist Dan Reynolds and I went to Los Angeles to record this music with producer Adam Gunther at Adam's beautiful studio.
Many thanks to the Hollywood Vedanta Temple for hosting Dan and I during this recording.
Also thanks to Chris and the Amherst UU church for use of their sanctuary and piano, where much of this music came to light.
