Last Night
Last night, for me, was a night to remember. Friends of a lifetime gathered together in New York City’s Pearl Studios to give a little listen to my newly released album, Remnants. The place was packed with so many joyful faces coming to hear selections from the last 40 years of my musical imaginings.
This Is All I Ask
This post, written nine years ago, is being published again because of its relevance to my new forthcoming album, Remnants and its closing song, This Is All I Ask.
Remnants – Part 12
As a young man in my 20s and 30s I wrote hundreds of songs. I did my proverbial 10,000 hours over the course of those 20 years and have some good work (gold) to show for it and much dross. The dross was just part of the artistic process. I have notebooks full of that dross that I will, no doubt, destroy before I leave the planet. I’ve kept it all these years because it was the efforts of my work and something in me always said, “Well, maybe someday it will have a chance to live, to survive.”
Remnants – Part 11
Living on the East Coast has its problems. Things are old here—the roads are old, the houses old, the facilities, like power systems, phone systems (telephone poles?), and shopping malls—all seem kinda old and decrepit after a recent trip to Northern California. There just seems to be a lot of things that we have to put up with here.
