Bouncing some new music off of select fans to see what’s happening and what’s not; should be enlightening:) I’ve decided how great would it be to get even more opinions on my new material before I commit to releasing it? Of course it’s about what songs I love, but when you really strip it down it’s not so much about me as it is about you. Without you I would only be playing for the birds and trees etc!

Writing a good song is just the beginning; I’ve learned that I need to keep on until I get a great version of it in the studio..it’s all about the heart, the vibe, and the emotion!
It’s really interesting to compare “takes” of a good song. Some versions just don’t do anything! Then all of a sudden the magic is present when while listening back through another pass at the song, and everyone feels it.
It really is more than just a good song that touches others, and gives them goosebumps, or causes their heart to open up; simply put it’s that undefinable ingredient that is so great when it gets captured in the music:)
It’s something you don’t really have any control over. You just do your best at trying to express it, and it either comes through , or it doesn’t!
Being able to put together a “great” song becomes a true cause for celebration and humble gratitude.

I’ve decided to give a solo piano song away as a download every week for awhile:) I know I tried that before, but got sidetracked..sorry:)
However- the powers that be say it’s a great idea for getting my name out and about the internet more, so I listened and obeyed:)
So stay posted; if you like my stuff my home page should be worth checking out soon..
Have a good one:)
