About Me

We're here looking for other music, art, and friends that inspire. If we added you as a friend, we saw something on your page that we genuinely liked.
Glenn has composed for and played in a number of bands in Pittsburgh, DC, and Baltimore, but this is his first bandless project created in a small black box in an undisclosed location in his Balitmore rowhouse. Ursula is Glenn's lovely wife who, as it turns out, has quite a set of pipes. (That means she sings real good.) Glenn calls her his "secret weapon" and her voice appears somewhere on most of his new recordings.
70 West is LD's NEW ALBUM album of road trip songs inspired by Glenn & Ursula's many epic adventures. The word "trip" is used loosely here as many of the adventures are as deep in the mind as they are far down the highway.

Estimated Possible Tentative Release Date

For those of you who bought it already, the idea of a future "release date" for the album may seem a bit nutty, but this is the nature of the music market as I'm learning. I won't consider the album ...
