Especially last week I’m sitting here writing this thinking that this time last week I wouldn’t even be awake for another hour and a half. Seriously, after eight hours of driving with only a few breaks, it was some much-needed rest. Not that I’m complaining of course. I made these plans and chose to have these endeavors. And if I was complaining, that would totally contradict the point of this entry. I am speaking specifically about the topic of my last entry (which was actually the press release I wrote, with a few corrections) the Annual Bravofest show I have been helping put together to help raise funds for the Veteran's Charity Homes For Our Troops by holding a music festival with some of New York's & New England's best independent bands. I will include some pics and all, but I will keep it brief since I do plan t...

Hello All, After this streak I’ve been having, I was a bit worried that I may fall back into my pattern of inconsistency, or post every few months at best. I was trying to think of what point I should make,what scenarios,parables,etc. And of course, which song should I use to tie all those together in a pretty bow with some music facts for you. I had to really think about what has been going on lately and what I am trying to improve as to not feel like things are so bleak when it comes to continuing as musician,song writer,businessman and the other dozen or so hats that I am forced to wear these days. In my dealings with other musicians, I’ve found that many don’t realize that they are wearing the hat(s) wrong or that they don’t fit. I’m sure you that I mean they don’t know WTF they are doing. Not that I don’t make mistakes. But, I try to at least ask questions or speak up about what I’m looking to achieve. This post is on the other side of the spectrum fro...

Hello All, I know last week’s post somewhat contradicts what I’ve said before about listening to what others have to say. Because good or bad it does taint your actions. If anything It was my way of showing those of you who are reading this that encouraging words (to put it mildly because this person used to the term “best ever” to describe some of my work) can be motivation beyond any official accolades or on the other hand negative words from others. Now that I’ve gotten back into the swing of things, I’m starting to realize again it’s not so easy to maintain these posts. Especially since I’m writing on two platforms now, which most of you were probably reading from the band’s website. I had to go back into last week’s post several times. The videos We’re not in embedded properly so that you could just see them on this page. Same went for a few of the links I put up. So for those of you who were among those who looked at it soon after I posted it, I apolog...

Hello everyone, First of all let me say once again that I am very appreciative of everyone who gave me condolences and for those who continue to read I am very grateful. Last week I suffered another personal loss. For me it was losing a child, all though it's not a human child it is my loss. How some try to diminish the severity of the loss of a pet had me almost keep this private. This is just one of the many byproducts of today's society that we feel we have the right to dictate the emotions of others based on our own viewpoints. Nevertheless, it doesn't change how I feel and he shouldn't be robbed of a tribute because of some blowhards that wouldn't have the balls to say unsolicited and cruel things in person. Our pets do show us unconditional love and we enrich each other's lives. And for some of us, inspire us to be better people. I remember this guy, Pluto (as he was later named), was a small black kitten with a white patch on his chest w...
