About Me

New Years Resolutions? Quit saying "like" after every other word I say and find a recording studio in NYC. I'm currently working on the soundtrack to my brother's screenplay. He says there is no screenplay and he doesn't know what anyone is talking about, but I know he's just making that up. He's bunkered down in his apartment hard at work on its completion.
