" If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music." ...and he also said... "I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." ...and then he said... "Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."...Kindness and treating people, THIS PLANET AND ALL ITS INHABITANTS how I wish to be treated are of greatest value to me...Love is the will to nurture growth...know what Love is and what Love is not......on the artistic tip, I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Linda Perry. As a direct result of our friendship and professional association, I just completed the soon-to released DanieI Powter CD on Warner Bros. Records titled "Under the Radar" and I am featured on two tracks on the current, straight-to-platinum release by Alicia Keys, "As I Am". I played on the 2007 Grammy - nominated recordings by Christina Aguilara and James Blunt. I have co-writing credits with Linda, Christina, Courtney Love, members of Black Sabbath and the Rolling Stones and Pink to name a few. I have platinum album credits with Alicia, Christina, James and Pink. Recently I recorded with Courtney Love, Tina Turner and Daniel Powter on their highly anticipated and soon-to-be-released recordings. I have played on hundreds of recordings with a wonderfully talented group of artists that includes Aerosmith, Robbie Williams, Celine Dion, Jewel, Vanessa Carlton, Goapele, Wayne Kramer, Zoe Deschanel, Juliette Lewis and the Licks, Ben Jelen, Gail Dorsey, Reeves Gabrels and Sierra Swan to name just a few...and I have written and recorded music for many films and television shows ranging from Missy Eliot's reality show to Comedy' Central's annual Awards Show, Cold Case, Star Search and on to the soundtrack for "Sweet Home Alabama." I am the sole composer for the film score for "Growing Up With Rockets" a documentary about coming of age on Florida's Space Coast during the '60's and '70s' This film is part of the National Record at the Smithsonian Institution and was one of 15 films about the American experience selected by the State Department for an inaugural tour of the Soviet Union during the Glasnost era. But!!! I feel that playing bass in the Willie Dixon Family Band at Willie's private wake and memorial was for me, one of the most meaningful experiences of my life...I am also the sole proprietor of the Psychedelic Shack, a funky recording studio in North Hollywood, CA. Recently, the Psychedelic Shack has yielded recordings by Justin Cotta and the Tender Hooks and Jenn Jayden. My own music, friends tell me, sounds like Pink Floyd, back from the future, crashing their spaceship into the Missisippi Delta mud...I am so truly blessed it's ridiculous!!! ..
