Review by Nancy at www.Streams-of-Time.net ~~~  Music to chase away the grayest of winter days and shine forth with the warmth of spring! Michael Straugh truly enthralls listeners with the passion in his playing in "True North." He's composed, arranged and played a collection of beautiful instrumental songs which are truly the music of life. Complex piano melodies played with grace and passion to delight the senses.

Review by Frank at www.Streams-of-Time.net ~~~   Straugh, in the opinion of this reviewer, has done a marvelous job in blending Contemporary and more Classical compositional idioms into works that are at once captivating upon first listening, yet contain layers of complexity where one may hear something a little bit different each time.  For those who enjoy Contemporary Piano music, "True North" will make a welcome addition.

Review by Joshua at www.Streams-of-Time.net ~~~    I'm awarding "True North", a unique and truly moving collection of contemporary piano solos, Streams-of-Time's above average rating, 4 out of 5 Stars.
