Today I would like to introduce a fellow musician and composer here in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.Jeff Raught is a funny, creative, talented artist. His main instrument is piano and he plays in a fun and unique style. On his website, Jeff describes the kind of music he plays as "a little jazz, a little laid back, some fun. I don't really know."
Jeff didn't have much formal training in music, but he loves to improvise. His performances are always fun.
He is also a comedian, so some of his songs are very funny. He performs with Ted Swartz in the group Ted and Company.
For example, here is his song entitled, "Manna". It is based on the story of the Israelites who were travelling in the desert and had run out of food. God fed them with manna every day...for years and years.

Here is an example of his music for piano from his album In the Midst. I enjoy listening to this album because it makes me feel relaxed and peaceful.
