Discography
Currently I have 5 “CD” albums available with plans to do more in the future. The music on these albums are the best of my original music, with a big variety of influences and styles, which are represented in my playlist repertoire. (See my Repertoire Section).
The only non-original music to date on my recordings are traditional Christmas Music (“Christmas on the Keyboard” – enhanced 2025 edition) and the theme song in my 2-part piano harmony arrangement of the award-winning theme from the 1963 blockbuster movie, “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” (found on “Window on the World”.)
There are 2 more “albums” I did in the early 1990’s, but they were during the cassette tape era. The very first one was called “A CELEBRATION OF CHRISTMAS”, which was traditional Christmas songs PLUS two original Christmas songs that I have revived on my 2025 Christmas CD. “A Celebration of Christmas” was my very first official “album” recording that I sold to the public. I was so excited when the CEO of the company I had a “day job” at, purchased a bunch of these Christmas music tapes to give out as door prizes at the company Christmas party. Awesome and memorable! CHRISTMAS ON THE KEYBOARD – enhanced 2025 version is basically a replacement of this album and the original 2005 version of CHRISTMAS ON THE KEYBOARD which had some technical flaws.
My second album is not available and was also mastered onto cassette tapes, as customary during the early 1990’s. “SONGS OF THE SPIRIT” is a faith-based piano instrumental. Though the tape album is discontinued, I still have the songs in my original music repertoire.
Here then is a complete listing of my “CD Music albums” currently available:
Head for the Hills (1996)
This is my only all grand piano release to date. I consider this my “country piano” release since there is predominantly songs that are country in style and songs that represent the outdoors. There is a semi-classical piece as well as a song that has words written to it called “The Night Sky.” All original music
A Party in the Hills – Where all pleasantries come together. Great food, great music, great people. Picture an all-weekend party in the hills! Like no campout you have ever been to!
The River Song – The river just keeps rolling along like the Hand of God.
Black Diamond Memories – Good thoughts of a time gone by at a special place. Based on many visits to Black Diamond Mines Regional Park near Antioch, Ca.
Goin’ Down the Backroads – All I can say is fun, fun fun!
Determined -Confidant in winning, confidant in overcoming opposition. Confidant in truth!
Warm Clear Nights – A dip in the lake or stream on a warm night. So nice. Shake your hair dry by the creek as the warm summer air hits you.
Adrenalin – This is great when you need it. This was composed in the midst of struggles with anxiety and used as a positive tool for coping and recovery.
A Panoramic View – This song takes you through the idea of setting out to view a beautiful area you have never seen before, and then you finally arrive at a full view of what you had been anticipating seeing for quite some time!
Shootin’ The Breeze – Value those planned talks with friends, definitely value the unplanned meaningful talks where there was release and resolve, and fun to boot.
The Night Sky – A song depicting a child looking up at the night sky while camping and seeing comets streak across the sky. But this could also be an adult with a childlike sense of wonderment, which we all should have. This song has lyrics written and makes a perfect outdoor campfire song or song played for a space program.
Freed Up – Your burden has lifted! Celebrate!
A Party in the Hills (Reprise) – A ballad version of this song which is depicting the end of a very fun and fulfilling, and needed “Party in the Hills”
All selections were performed by Greg Pane on grand piano. All selections were composed and arranged by Greg Pane, Copyright 1996 by Greg Pane. Sound Recordings are Copyright 1996 and 2004 by Greg Pane and GFI Music.
music for a New Millennium (1999)
This was the first music album I ever did that was mastered for CD release. The songs are all original and are collectively songs that represent ushering in a new era in time. On this CD, there is semi-classical, Irish, Latin, Country, Pop/Rock, Lite Jazz, Fusion, Ballads, and various other styles. Songs were composed and played with various sounds on a synthesizer keyboard to emphasize the hysteria and anticipation over the arrival of the year 2000. At times, someone will think they are listing to an entire orchestra, when in fact, I am playing an electronic synthesizer just like a piano. The only difference is that you can pick which types of sounds come out of the keys. All original music.
Overture to a New Millennium – Classical styled fanfare representing the hope that a new era can bring. This was inspired by the turn of the millennium, year 2000 and the preseding “Y2K” anticipation. This piece was used for Easter Sunrise Services for several years at Shadow Cliffs Park near Pleasanton, Ca in the early 2000’s.
The Way of the World – An energetic, fast song depicting a rebuke for a corrupt and fallen world.
The Answer – A Latin-styled song representing a search for answers to life’s issues.
Hustle and Bustle – A light hearted, but fast and furious statement about our crazy, frenzied society today.
A Yearning – A ballad depicting society’s need and longing for truth and justice.
Forget This – After you work hard or finally accomplish a goal, go have fun!
Justice – Making use of Native American and country music influences, this emotionally stirring multi-part composition depicts a person or persons on a quest for justice.
Our Man Graham – A song celebrating the life of long-time family friend Johnny Graham, who passed in 1993. He made everyone laugh and was so fun to be around. Many people react to this song as if they knew Johnny.
Over the Bridge – Crossing a bridge, facing your fears, a new millennium: In this piece that represents transitions, you can hear musical representations of the pulsation of sections of roads on suspension bridges as the car wheels hit them.
Country Holiday – Holidays in the countryside. This fast country instrumental was composed while I was playing for a corporate Christmas party.
For All We Know – A bluesy / jazzy ballad that prompts you to reflect of the concept that we know very little in the large scheme of things, and that we can only do what we can, when we can.
Revelation – A semi-classical piece representing the Book of Revelation and seeing it unfold in our world today. A stirring piece of music that will have you thinking of everything to do with the days preceding the Second Coming of Christ
Celebration – Rejoice over blessings, breakthrough, victory!
Memories – A somewhat sad piece reflecting on past scenes in your life.
A New World – Chaos everywhere in the world, then Christ comes on the scene!
All selections were composed, written, arranged, and played by Greg Pane on electric synthesizer Keyboard.

Window on the World (2010)
Original music with varied styles, and including my 2-part piano harmony version of the theme song from the movie “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World”, the only non-original
Window on the World – The fast pace of life in the 2000’s.
Elated- Hyperventilating with joy over long-awaited good news.
****It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” – I drove my family crazy playing this theme song over & over as a kid. This movie and its’ great music score are things I can’t imagine life without.
Oasis – That special place or person.
Lost in the Night – Everyone should enjoy the moment.
Lord, Lord – This is all there is to say at times.
Alone – There is much wisdom to be gained from being alone, though not always fun!
Piano Cowboy – Breaking stereotypes is necessary and fun. As a musician, I don’t desire to fit into any one style or category, so this,, in a way, makes me a “piano cowboy.”
Peace in the Fields – This piece was inspired by many hikes at Morgan Territory Preserve in the hills above Livermore, Ca.
Triumphant – Victory over every conceivable obstacle.
Sweet Words – Those great moments when someone else offers direct proof of what you knew all along – “sweet words of truth.”

Heaven Sent (2022)
The best album you have ever done by far” is the comment I received from a good friend who helped me produce several of my early tape and CD albums. My feeling when getting the song ideas, was that it indeed was going to be some of the best original music I have ever recorded. I believe it is! People have commented intensely favorably to various songs on the album. There is a style of music for everyone all under the guise of a faith-based title theme. All original music.
We Will See It Through – The 2020’s had a crazy start! God promises that “This too shall pass!”
Heaven Sent – “Every good and perfect thing is from the Lord.”
His Perfect Peace – “The Peace of the Lord transcends all understanding.”
Plugging Away – See your work as from the Lord. In that you will see blessings!
This Time, This Place – This song was composed in the middle of playing for a silent film showing the aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Capturing the moment is important, even if that moment is not so great.
On the Go – Do good work and be fair minded. You won’t go wrong!
Light of the World – John 3:16. The Lord is Great! Lyrics are planned for this song.
Aftermath – After disappointments & bad things, bring it to God, and watch Him turn your cry into a better tomorrow.
A Ride in the Country – There is nothing like it, getting away from the hustle & bustle.
Euphoria – Intensely happy and joyous, when divinely inspired, there is nothing like it!
Sky Viewing – This piece was inspired by a fantastic meteor shower on a late August 2013 evening in the Del Valle Hilles above Livermore, California.
Making Things Right – Take the right stand and hold your ground! You will make a difference!
