"I was one of the fortunate few to obtain a copy of "Things Worth Waiting For" before it became available online. As a fan of both Christmas music and instrumental music, I found Mr. Morden's holiday offering to be very enjoyable.He exhibits a broad range of musicality in his piano playing, paying tribute to the composers' original arrangements while tastefully weaving in amazingly melodic improvisations throughout the recording. Morden's original compositions are at once classics -- easily first time listens. I found myself waxing nostalgiac, as several of his original pieces took me back mentally to my childhood memories of Christmas. I have owned "Things Worth Waiting For" for several years now, and every year without exception, my family and I play it many many times as a key ingredient in our holiday experience. It provides perfect background music for holiday parties or even as a soundtrack for your weekend breakfast, complete with a fresh pot of coffee and the Sunday morning paper. If you are a fan of John Tesh Manheim Steamroller or even David Benoit or Dave Gruisen, you will enjoy "Things Worth Waiting For" by Wendel Morden!"

A true genius

"Mr. Morden isn't only an excellent a teacher but he also has the capacity to create truly great music. I have had the privilege of listening to his early release Wendel Roy Morden and so I wasn't surprised at his music talent. This album is a good way to bring in the holiday season. You're the coolest Mr. M (or should I say Luke!)"
