"Namaste" is a Hindu greeting. It essentially means "I celebrate the place in you where we are both one". If "Namaste" had been produced as an LP album, side A would be called "Sylph" meaning 'of the cosmos' and side B would be called "Sylvan" meaning 'of the forest'. Since it's produced as a CD instead, it's arranged with the first 9 pieces comprising "Sylph" and the remaining 7 pieces comprising "Sylvan".

"Blue Almonds" was a phrase that Frederic Chopin used to describe 'impossible dreams' and 'castles in the air'. When I decided to name my piano album "Blue Almonds", I directed the artist creating the cover to blend in a piano keyboard, idyllic meadows, farms, hills & mountains and to include a transparent castle in the sky. I am very satisfied with the artistry provided by the design team at Discmakers in Pensauken, NJ.

"Begin now the journey to a special place within the gates of your innermost thoughts and feelings. Accompanied by an esoteric pastiche of pianoforte streaming a currency of motifs steeped in Adirondack mountain air - that celestial and ethereal fluid of spiritual influence and healing; a journey to a land of impossible dreams; of castles in the air; of Blue Almonds". Frederick A. Warner, Adirondack Composer

The piece below is titled "An Adirondack Nocturne".

“Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes,
it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art.”
— Frederic Chopin
