On any given day, I might be playing for a film soundtrack, flute for Mandisa, clarinet for Wynonna, penny whistle for Amy Grant or saxophone for Lynyrd Skynyrd. I have recently recorded for Vince Gill, Aaron Neville, The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, Carrie Underwood and Kenny Chesney. In my career I have played shows with Sammy Davis Jr., Mel Torme, Henry Mancini, Dolly Parton, Vince Gill, Reba McIntire, Michael McDonald, Al Jarreau, Liza Minnelli, Amy Grant, Toby Keith, Lynda Carter, Michael W. Smith and Larry Carlton.
As an artist, I have more than 16 artist recordings on three different labels (Greenhill Music, Village Square and Brentwood Jazz). I find the wordless voice of instrumental music brings a uniquely personal meaning to lyrics. I have tried to convey that in my recordings whether they are romantic love songs, oldies from the 50′s and 60′s or the timeless hymns of the church. I am an active member of Westminster Presbyterian church where I serve as a musician and elder. In addition to playing flute, pennywhistle or saxophone for worship, I am often asked to provide Celtic or Dixieland bands for services at my home church or other area churches. My participation and leadership at Westminster Presbyterian follows a life-long spiritual development that began with my parents marriage of Jewish and Christian traditions.
My two latest recordings, “Smooth Praise” and “Smooth Worship” are sax versions of Praise and Worship songs. Just prior to those two releases was an urban smooth jazz CD of well known R and B ballads from the 70′s and 80′s called “Sax in the City”.
I lead a band called “City Lights” that does wedding and business receptions. We do family and music industry events for clients who want a band that has style and creativity. The traditional jazz group, “Bourbon Street” and the contemporary jazz group, “Phatjaz“, are also active.
The wonderful talent pool of Nashville’s classical musicians makes it possible to contract chamber ensembles and even a full orchestra for recording sessions, wedding ceremonies or corporate events.
I love waterskiing and we have a nice long season here in middle Tennessee. I also love to downhill ski and hiking so I try to make at least one trip a year out west. In between I stay in shape by going to one the area YMCA‘s
My Heart Will Go On
Sam Levine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh
If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
Hey, cause I believe in me, oh
If I can see it, then I can do it (I can do it)
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
Hey, if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Hum, fly

I am relying on a higher power to support me

I see me running through that open door
I visualise myself seizing opportunities as they arise
See I was on the verge of breaking down
I was very close to giving up completely
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are times when quietness amplifies the negative thoughts in my mind
There are miracles in life I must achieve
There are special accomplishments that I hope to attain in my lifetime
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh
I understand that it all begins with my own self-belief
Hey, cause I believe in me, oh
I have complete trust in my own capabilities
If I can see it, then I can do it (I can do it)
When I vividly imagine something, I can make it a reality
Hey, if I just spread my wings
If I allow myself to take risks and grow, I can achieve greatness
I can fly
I can soar far beyond my current limitations
Hum, fly
I am humming with eagerness and excitement to chase my dreams
