Love songs: sweet, emotional, raw, energetic, adoring, faithful, fiery. From melodic and lyrical, laid-back acoustic piano to orchestrated, to rhythmically primitive rock.
My music is an expression of my love of beauty. It is intended to fill the listener with a sense of appreciation for what is beautiful… to awaken in the listener a greater awareness of the beauty in themselves, and in others, as well as the beauty in the natural, the spiritual, and the Divine. Some to make you feel, some to make you move….
My history: Two years of classical piano lessons between ages seven and nine from an old man who lovingly called me Professor. Years of listening to my mother playing jazzy tunes and my father playing everything from Chopin to a beautiful song he wrote, “A storm is a wild thing….†Started writing instrumentals at age fourteen. Started writing lyrics at seventeen – songs of love, loss and longing, etc. Graduated from Brandeis in ’84 with Honors in Creative Writing.
Spent a number of years developing a relationship with pianos, learning how they feel, how they respond to me, and me to them.
Played in Reggae and African music bands in Philadelphia.
Formed a band and wrote in ¾, 4/4, 5/4, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8, 10/8, 11/8, 13/8, 15/8.
Decided to share my music with the world….
Here’s my music, and a part of me….
