“We Are The Wild Flowers” by Paul Chipkin.

To the most craziest client, I was so grateful to have known and work with. It was a pleasure. His passion. For poetry. Unmatched on my path of greater writers, or the like that happened my way. Miss him tremendously. (1949-2019)

Long Time Gone – But Always A Harvest Moon To Dream

Recently, I attended my cousin Jan’s funeral. I was very grateful to be able to attend and see some family members I had not seen for well over 40 years.

Victor Blues

The lines mesh and merge, and eventually, the “3” way – 3 party conversation begins between myself, Gail and Victor. Victor I believe was in Japan or ??? and it was a fuzzy connection. So we chatted, and so forth. The issue about a white guy traveling with some black resurfaced, Victor was cool about … Read More »

Connecting The Dot(s). Past and Present.

Remarkable Paul Moen (1952-2003) came to me via percussionist, Ray Mantilla. He was one of many talented individuals I’ve been fortunate to have met, play and discuss music with in my lifetime.

Bad Boys. Bad Girls. Getty Up. Or Get On!

Songwriters, painters. Artists. Often. Often wonder what they do. Yet don’t care why. As. That is what they do. Others. Don’t understand. It’s a curious dance and conversation, at coffee. ; ) I never knew why I wrote this song. Other than being passed and panned by Columbia and my homeboy’s there. Yet. I was … Read More »

“On The Otherside,” JMP, Delano album. 1997. Dedicated to many friends we lost in Hell’s Kitchen, and around the world, to a problem so many thought undeserving of curing, and attention. And “Tom Hanks” gave it life. Understanding. Humanity. Enjoy.

NYC White Christmas Night

Ok. Today I was somehow inspired. And inspiration brought me back to 2002, and a song I wrote, “New York City White Christmas Night.” Ok. Hoky-moky. But. For some reason I thought about it tonight. And it was during the winter of 2001 – Fall of 2002, I had most of this tune, somewhat finished. … Read More »
