First Song
Stanley's newest CD
I hear an elegiac quality in these songs and tunes. With more years behind and fewer ahead, there is an opportunity for reflection. Yet it can also be a time for celebrating the possibility of life beginning again—a first song, in spite of overwhelming odds.

MÉLODIE — Brittany to the Balkans
Many of the pieces on this all instrumental album are dance tunes and songs that have been handed down over hundreds of years. This timeless musical quality is evoked masterfully by Stanley’s guitar, mandocello and tenor guitar.

Turning Towards You
Subtly provocative and expertly composed, Stanley's songs address difficult subjects with grace and intelligence. Spirited instrumentals influenced by the traditional music of Brittany, Scotland, Ireland, and the Balkans bring this collection full circle.

All Roads
Stanley combines striking melodies with poetry to create interior landscapes in the listener. The album has three spirited instrumentals— a traditional Macedonian tune arranged by Stanley, a piece inspired by Bulgarian folk dance rhythms, and an original, uplifting march.
