I went to my friend’s Funeral Service yesterday. It was sunny but unseasonably cold for March 19th – even for upstate Albany, New York. Charlie Smith was one of the best. You hear this said so often and even more so during a Funeral Service/Memorial – but this is truth. Charlie played with spirit – […]
I love my guitar. Maybe love lies within the comfort of familiarity – loyalty – and the big one: giving. What you get in return. Sounds selfish doesn’t it? I mean love should be selfless and I believe it is… but when you love you give and the end product is receiving. I care for […]
I was invited to a Jazz Style Jam by my talented friend Joe Barna – but as Joe would say ‘Jazz not required – more of a free-form – express yourself and lets all play together and see what we can make kind of thing’. Very much a community builder – and what music and […]
I’ve always liked a clean slate – brand new start to try again for that ever so elusive perfection of time – to be caught up -to take that trip – make that move – write that song -while everything is in its neat little place. Yeah right… but it’s a nice distraction and as […]
2023 is just around the corner… It seems that time speeds up during Holiday Seasons and from the start of Thanksgiving – off we go into the ether of wonder – memories – shopping – emotions of all kinds. Clean slate? New Year – new person? Nothing wrong with trying – as humans we like […]
I’m not very religious. I don’t advertise it because it isn’t something that really needs to be advertised – (whether you are a believer in a personal entity or not). My mom was very religious – and one of the most amazing people I will ever know. In some sense, I believe that atheism, religion, […]
I will be doing my thing – singing my fall/winter seasonal songs at Jo’s Joint in downtown Troy. I’m hoping for a nice cozy – thoughtful – satisfying performance for you all. I’m sure co-owner’s Jo (Jordan) and Stephen will have some seasonal drink specials and comfort food to make things just right and at […]
Life is good and sometimes tragic… within that balance is everything in-between. I lost my mom in March. She was all the color in my life – all the warmth that everything will be alright – I was eternally young in her eyes – fresh – new – eager – joyful. These things pass -we […]
Man, I really love writing – playing – singing and just being creative. It’s an outlet/release for all those things stored in my subconscious – my curiosities – desires – love – it’s a way to let it all spill out and in that moment there is a realness to things- a contentment. It’s also […]
I performed at a local senior home last month and it was such a wonderful experience. Sadly, the home does not have enough of a budget to make this a more consistent viable event for me. I of course would have no problem performing for free from time to time but would like to provide […]
This is one of my latest songs and I got myself a nice take on it last week during my gig/show at Em…
Take a look back…
