The Year of Love’ is an explorative journey intertwined with the creation of my third album, tentatively titled ‘Love.’ This project is dedicated to uncovering and celebrating the multifaceted power of love in all its forms. Set against the backdrop of the album’s development, the mission is to delve beyond the conventional romantic narrative, bringing to light the diverse expressions and impacts of love in human life. Through this fusion of music and storytelling, ‘The Year of Love’ seeks to […]

There was a dragonfly in my dream last night(night of New Year’s Eve). I don’t think I’ve ever had a dream about a dragonfly before. It was a very determined dragonfly — quite majestic and beautiful in it’s appearance. But I was afraid of it. And it seemed to be on a very specific mission to land on me. It’s not clear if it was meaning to harm me. The details of the dream are hard to remember, but my […]

2022 is fast coming to an end. I was supposed to release two songs over the Summer. One titled “Life Goes On”, the other titled “Beautiful the Way You Are”. Unfortunately the releases were delayed for one reason or another. But “Life Goes On” has finally been scheduled for release October 7th, and I hope to release “Beautiful the Way You Are” by the end of October. Both songs are Summer songs, technically, so it’s too bad I was not […]

On March 18th 2022 I will release a new single titled “It’s All up to Me”. In the song I sing about digging in the ground looking for a magic seed that will magically change my life. I also sing about knowing that I’ve got to look inside for what I seek and what I need, and that it’s up to me to dig down deep inside to find the very best of what’s in me. But the truth is, […]

Some silly lyrics from a song I wrote a long time ago: (That’s Not the Way of Love verse 2) “Love is music, the sweetest sound you’ll ever hear. Love is a rainbow, spreading color everywhere. Love should make you feel like you can fly high, like you can touch the sky. Hold the heavens in your hands; do anything.” Love is nothing like this in reality, but I think the silly romantic idea–to experience that kind of love must be nice.

I do not have favorite singers or any kind of favorite anything. I outgrew the habit for ardently admiring people, places, things and all related matter. But before I became resistant to such distractions, there were a few people I admired for their work. Neil Diamond was one of those people. I admired him for his song-writing and his music. So much so, I once wrote him a poem titled “Ode to Neil Diamond”. I can’t quite remember how it […]

But still your love was true… Title of post and above quote are lyrics from Vincent by Don Mclean I’ve spent the better part of this Saturday in deep thought. I’ve mostly been thinking about reality as it relates to my music. I’m preparing to (hopefully) release my second album in the next few weeks or months. It really depends on the last two songs and how they turn out. I’m hopeful they will turn out okay and that I’ll […]

Currently Barry Manilow’s I write the Songs is playing in my head. Sometimes songs just pop into my head out of nowhere. That’s the song that popped in just now. Depending on when you were born you may or may not be familiar with the song. Without looking up the lyrics, below is what I am hearing in my head: I write the songs that make the whole world sing, I write the songs of love and special things. I […]
