Utopia A utopia is a community or society possessing highly desirable or perfect qualities. The word was coined in Greek by Sir Thomas More for his 1516 book Utopia, describing a fictional island society in the Atlantic Ocean. (Wikipedia) What is your utopia? Mine is the perfect woman, an ideal life and the music that captures that dream of perfection. Whether you live on an island in the Pacific or a farm in the Midwest or a desert in California, you dream of a better world. Or at least, a better world for you. Songs here are about a better you, me and our world together. What we enjoy and what we would like to improve on. Some songs are original; most of the songs are my cover versions of time-tested standards. My sincere hope is your utopia will emerge as in each song, each moment that you hear them.
