---SMITTY UNITED WORLD ORCHESTRA
Hello Everyone
I am SMITTY. I have been performing for over 48 years professionally. I have played with Eric Burdon, Jimmy Messina. My Group (UWO, for short), has been around since 1979. We can PLAY. Not computerrs but REAL MUSICIANS. There are 11 of us. Full horn section, percussions, and 6 singers, ALL SELF CONTAINED. Later I will be able to upload some of our songs as I get to know this thing. I am still new here.Hey this is GREAT NEWS!!!.First of all, Our daughter, VICTORIA FAITH WAS BORN MARCH 20TH. CHECK OUT THE BIRTH HERE ON VIDEO.ALSO, UWO has just been accepted to perform at the Camarillo Jazz Festival. They are expecting about 40.000 people this year. It will corresponde to our release in July.. Also, I just did a NEW music video, (playing Bass) with Larisa Dolina (from Russia.) It was a dance slasa song. It was really cool and SHE CAN SIIINNGGG!!!. That was a lot of fun. Many good things coming this year for me and United World Orchestra.It is going to be a GREAT YEAR. You may have seen me on "The Games" Video "DREAMs." THAT IS ME ACTING AND SINGING. (I AM The man in the HAT). I hope you liked that one. It was a cool shoot.
I am also doing some solo gigs around town ( L.A. county). I do oldies and standards, actually a little bit of everything. I want to invite you all to see me perform at Trillusa's in Beverly Hills every Monday. The show starts at 9 pm. There are some great performers there. It is a Variety show so there are singers and commedians. It is hosted by Skip E Lowe. Many stars in the house.
The gig at the Ford theater was Great portraying Martin Luther King. It was packed. We had been working on that play for almost 5 years and it is finally going to go big time. God is GREAT ( I believe). UWO is finally getting the final touches of the CD "Song Be" done. It was hard since Phillip Moore and I did it with our own Money. I LOVE THIS CD. Phillip and I also did a Standard CD for me Entitled' SONGS FOR YOU". I sell them at my gigs. It is excellent. So many great Jazz and love songs on it. I will post them someday for you to hear.
I love performing. This is what I was born to do. It is Great to have a Wife that understands that. She supports me as I do her. Valerie just got her MASTERS DEGREE. That is so cool. I am proud of her. I have 7 children and an extremely Beautiful wife. I have been blessed. I still have 5 children at home but the older ones still call from time to time. I truly LOVE MY FAMILY.
Well, GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Music:

..I listen to ANYTHING that is good. I learned how to play Viola when I was 7 (couldnt get the girls with a Viola, so I chose BASS. My Brother played with Gladys Knight & the PIPS for many many years and after seeing them on stage and the huge crowd. I WAS SOLD. I just dont like to be SCREAMED AT in a song.

Movies:

I have so many that I love. Right now I think one of my favorites is the NEW KING KONG. The ape should have gotten best actor in the Oscars.I also Love the New Die Hard Movie with Bruce Willis. That was Great.

Television:

Lost, Invasion, Medium, Forensic Files, Family Guy, Smallvile, Desperate Housewives (dont laugh.Eli Stone, It is nice to see other people have problems beside me, at least on T V.) I dont like to see people in REAL pain. That is what T.V is for.

Books:

THE PROPHET is my Favorite. I also like the Bible, but it has been interpreted by too many people that I just read the excerpts I know that are NOT tampared with

Heroes:

Jesus. My Wife. My Kids. My Oldest Brother JIM. Martin Luther King. GOD HIMSELF.
