** New Release - Coming May, 2022 **

I am beyond blessed to be working with people that are better than me, because that is how I get better at what I do. For those who are not familiar with the personnel on this track, [at least for me] it is worth sharing:

  • Charlie Morgan, the drummer, spent 15 years as the session and touring drummer for Elton John, having began his journey playing with him at 1985's legendary Live Aid event. He has played on all major albums and tours since 1985's Ice on Fire up until the 2000 Disney movie The Road To El Dorado.

  • Dennis Gallo, the keyboardist, and Guy Walker, the guitarist, were the original and touring band members for the Backstreet Boys. They played on the first four albums and tours: Backstreet Boys, Backstreets Back, Millennium, and Black and Blue.

  • Kenny Passarelli, the bassist, was the first bassist ever to play a fretless bass. He formed Barnstorm with Joe Vitale and Joe Walsh in 1973. He co-wrote the hit "Rocky Mountain Way." Afterwards, he went on to tour and record for two years (1975 and 1976) with Elton John playing on the Rock of the Westies and Blue Moves albums. Later in his career, he recorded and toured with Hall and Oates, Dan Fogelberg, and Crosby Stills Nash and Young to name a few. He is still with Joe Walsh and Barnstorm to this day.

  • And Julia Wolfe is a musician based out of Connecticut. I happened to have networked with her at a function about two years back. She is currently launching her career as a singer.

Hopefully, you can listen to this track and feel the same excitement that we all had doing this.

A straight-ahead tune that features Charlie Morgan (drums), Dennis Gallo (keyboards and organs), Guy Walker (guitars), Kenny Passarelli (bass), Julia Wolfe (vocalist) and myself (percussion).

Music With Alex Brown (2021)

It was such a blast to record these tracks with Alex Brown, who was one of the backing vocalists for Stevie Wonder's backing band "Wonderlove" in the 70s and 80s, and for Elton John's Reg Strikes Back tour in 1988.

I am very sad to say that my best friend and music colleague, Grammy-winning cellist David Darling, passed away. You can read about our story here. I wrote tracks 1 and 7 and provided compositional revisions to the remainder of the tracks for his album Homage to Kindness. It was nominated for a Grammy award for "Best New Age" album in 2020.

 

Teaching Online e-Video Series (2019)

In this pilot episode of a new series I created that stemmed from the COVID-19 disease, I explain how to teach a form of writing called "blogging." My educational series teaches students how to communicate effectively on the web, and teaches educators how to foster those skills through the use of digital literacy skills.
