"L.A. Love Affair"
At the end of the day L.A...
You're still the basin of all my aspirations,
the stream of consciousness that keeps the wine
in my blood flowing,
the waterfall that cascades
"This May be Love" so says Jimi "like one of those daydreaming fools."
Deep in the Valley where all your hopes surfaced
born of beauty,
born of pain,
living in a
transitory semblance of real life
you revealed yourself to me.
L.A…
elusive, magical and bruised, you're the line that runs down my center,
keeping me close to the edge of surrender,
pulling me to the other half of me that soon the world will see
Any bars I have stood behind I built on my own.
All highways I traveled alone
until I landed inside your melodic heart.
And when I leave you at times
I know I have not lost you
at the end of the day,
after twilight
when some stars begin to gleam over the Pacific
as I drive up the 1,
feeling the Malibu sky.
At the end of the day when the music plays,
your blues notes don't lie any more
than the child who in your eye
goes searching for me when I look for another escape,
another moon in the desert,
a home in the hills,
a vessal on the Ocean that would keep us sailing in circles
together until all our triangles washed ashore.

L.A….
I'm yours until we break off into the sea,
and even then you'll surround me in the water...
where nothing we love is ever lost at the end of the day.

My Interests

A few segments I wrote and produced...Apologies for the inaudible music tracks. The video has lost several generations since the master was edited.

The truest expression of a people is in its dance and in its music. Bodies never lie. ~Agnes de Mille

I'd like to meet:

Young Hearts, Old Souls, Sensitive Men, Strong Women, Poets, Dreamers, Lovers, Musicians, Cherry Bombs and Hot Moms, Freedom Fighters, Fire Startes, Risk-Takers, Romantics, Realists, Hustlers, Heroes, Heartbreakers, Healers, Angels, Masters and Dragons.

Music:

Piano that cascades like windchimes in the morning, the sonic color of a string orchestra, devastatingly free jazz, all things Motown, mom and me at the baby grand, ocean front beach music, Tim Reynolds on acoustic guitar (beyond words), funky drum n' bass lines, beatboxing from my boy Spencer, a killer saxophone, electric guitar that soars like Joe Satriani's "Always with me, Always with you," pop hooks that penetrate my subconcious, 50s and 60s bubblegum pop, dirty rock n' roll, chanting at the Buddhist center, celebration at a Jewish wedding, water music at a church wedding, Italian arias, Zane Musa, Tony Austin...

Michael Franti & Speahead - Franti's aura is bigger than the sun. I died and came back to life the night I promoted Spearhead's first show at the New Orlean Jazz Festival. They are one of the most magical live bands in the stratosphere.

"I can see my rainbow calling me
through the mystery
of my waterfall."
Thanks Jimi.

Rock n' Roll is back, thanks to a little band called Billy Boy on Poison. (They're gonna be BIG in no time.)
"I'll be your rainbow unicorn pink muffin girl, Jack."

I'm infatuated with Alice Smith.

Citizen Cope -- reminiscent of the ocean at night when the sea monsters rise to the surface to look at all the world has to offer.

Meshell Ndegeocello
She pours into my veins and swims on the deep end.

My girl's got soul...

I'm drunk on Amy Winehouse...

...and Jilly from Philly cuz life is "Golden."

Tuck and Patti -- This woman's voice sounds like the richest part of heaven covered in mango...yummeee...

Beck = Brilliance

Morphine -- (Dayaaaam that sax sounds sexy:)

No one plays the Dobro better -- Rocco Deluca & the Burden.

I'm moving to Venice to find Jane.

Jeff Buckley --OHHHHhhhh...."LOVER YOU SHOULD'VE COME OVER"

India.Arie -- She flows like water.

Joni Mitchell (One of the greatest storytellers ever.)
