The first time I heard a great song that delivered truth and beauty on the wings of a heart-breaking melody, I knew that I was in love forever. I grew up on Long Island and through a long and checkered path that rivals any taken by Pip or David Copperfield, I morphed into a big firm trial lawyer in Atlanta with the support of a woman whose heart was made for me and mine for her. And always at my back I heard the sounds of some song of my own -- and I finally found the time and the reason to go into a studio and record my songs one by one, always hoping they contained a grain of the special something that always leaves me breathless when I hear it --the power of a great song is unbelievable. There are 20 tracks on this CD. Sometimes, I think one or two of them are not bad, but most times, I just shake my head. But the funny thing about songs is that we are not in charge and we do not know how they will touch the hearts of others. If one of these gets to you, then I know why I wrote it after all -- it was for you. Thanks for listening.
