Big Band…Big Sound…Optimistic Future
I have always been enamored with the “big band” sound – that of a bygone era complete with a full horn section and a rhythm section. The soundtrack to Nora Ephron‘s WHEN HARRY MET SALLY featuring the sound of Harry Connick Jr. led me to a love affair with the likes of Jimmy Durante, Louis […]

Just Another New York Story
Friday, August 2, 2019 – the day I was blessed to get 2 hugs from a homeless gentleman. I was taking a smoke break earlier outside the office building when I saw a familiar face heading my way. As he got closer, he smiled, indicating that he recognized me too. He asked if I still […]

Life Is What You Make It – The Anatomy Of A Theme Song
It’s GRAMMY® voting season once again! As NARAS voting members, this is that time of year where we take pride (and serious responsibility) in helping determine which artists/songs/albums, in our humble opinion, are deserving of taking home a GRAMMY® for music released this year. For the first time in long while, we find ourselves not […]

I was trying to figure out what happened in 2015 that got me away from blogging. Then I realized Facebook and Twitter happened. It was easier to post 140 character (or thereabouts on FB) realtime updates […]

The REAL ME
On some level, the album STRONGER THAN BEFORE (STB) really started with the song REAL ME, even though it was included in the EP release by Chapter 2. At that time, I really wanted to write something original for the group to claim as our own. On hindsight, it was written as an embodiment of […]
