Here I am and you are there and we are everywhere… I’m excited – nervous – curious for the start of my Kickstarter Album fundraising campaign in the coming days. I feel something on this project – a closeness to a road that seems to be merging relationships into a unified whole – collaborations with […]

New Year – Staying Positive
Into the third week of 2024 and hoping it’s something more. Don’t we all hope for that? Progress – growth – love – family – friends – lovers… what’s the alternative? and with that -we should surely be thankful for having what we have – even in seemingly dark times… food – a roof – […]
Only So Much Time
This is one of my latest songs and I got myself a nice take on it last week during my gig/show at Emma Jaynes in Clifton Park New York – nice audience always helps 🙂 The thing about music or anything for that matter- is there are lots of moving parts and it takes some […]
Radio Waves
Why not… right? I haven’t posted something in a while and my OCD and sense of accountability weighs on me to keep my website up to date even if I don’t have much to report. I keep a fair amount of videos from my gigs on my Facebook Page Find me on Facebook I just […]
Going Back but the Same Old Story
I’m getting old – scratch that… I’m old. I’m not old in the sense of feeling washed up – I actually in many ways feel like I’m at my best – striking a balance between maturity/experience and playfulness -as with each passing year – the value of moments become more weighted. My gut told me […]
A Song Tribute to My Late Dad

It’s Beautiful (*New Song)
As you can imagine or not imagine – songwriters tend to have lots of unfinished songs – bits and pieces of melody ideas – sound bites – a lyrical phrase… With Mother’s Day this Sunday – and a little over a year since my mom’s passing – I thought it might be both therapeutic and […]
Ralph Bennett | Father – Husband – Bandmate – Artist
Too much loss at one time is hard to swallow but this one hit close to the bone. Ralph Bennett was one of my first bandmates and dear friend, that although time separated us – was always close to my heart with fond memories. There were a few other bandmates before him that I cherish […]
Charlie Francis Smith ‘The Love Remains’
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 – […]
Things Break – Die – Fleeting Burst of Love
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 […]
