About Me

My two latest songs “Candy & Coffee” and “When You Gone” are two tracks off of the soon to be released album “Years Later” (release date to be in late 2010). This album has been an amazingly therapeutic return to music for me. It will be full songs each with their own vibe, some blues, some dance, some soul, some rock, and some experimental tracks, that I have written with the intent, to never to bore the listener with any stereotypical glitzy style. As I have said to fans, friends, and family, THERE WILL BE NO TRITE! Different and great musicians, completely different styles, and all songs will have a NON-top forty sound. That has been my ultimate goal. “Underground”, “experimental”, “alternative”, “imaginative”, “original”“Raw” and “eclectic” , these are the words I kept in my head while working on each song, while trying to throw in at least one unexpected item or flavor into each song. Thanks to all the musicians, singers and multi-talented people who have helped me on this new project."The Delle Ave Sessions" is a compliation of over 10 years of songs made by various players/musicians. I love playing, and so, when I get an idea, I look for like minded, twisted, individuals, who I feel would be the best players for their tracks. I put those ideas into the arms of some of my good friends from different bands and different schools, to assist me in making music that haunts my head, my soul, and my heart. Each track has a very different feel, different musicians, and expand from different genres. Never satisfied with the final versions, I continued to work on each of the original pieces until 1995, finally stopping my editing brought on by the death of one of my good friends and band mates, Saul Goldfarb. (R.I.P.) I started writing again 5 years after his death, and...I will not stop. I just didn't realize how much I missed it. Now that I do, "ain't no goin' back". Really! These tracks are a testament to my friends, musicians willing to help, to lay out each note the way I originally envisioned. Good friends I have, and some I'll miss.
