Howard Thurman once said, "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive." Well, music makes me come alive. It makes me cry. It makes me connect with people, with my soul. I believe it goes a level deeper than surface consciousness where things either heal or become disease.Anyway, I've been playing music since high school when I realized it could help me overcome my natural shyness. I slowly grew in my ability to compose original music. By college I was connected more and more to musical people and my abilities flourished. I played wine and cheese places and became more open.I'm a husband and dad now and run a successful ad agency in Long Island. But in spare quiet moments, I pursue the unrelenting itch to keep music alive in me. This myspace has inspired me to expand once more in my quest for musical expression. I hope what comes of it makes you come alive.Cause that's what the world needs.
