: About Me

I began my writing career as a lyricist and developed a talent for writing comedy, ad copy, and feature film scripts.
A record I wrote and produced in the early seventies is now sold and played worldwide. The name of the song is "Plastic People" and the group is "Living Color" on Sophisticated Funk Records. You can check it out on the Internet.
I am currently finishing my first novel,"Gambler's Blues" (Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Eight). Covering thirty years, beginning with my first wager and all the interesting characters I've met in Vegas, Atlantic City and numerous race tracks around the country.
I would consider writing freelance copy and would submit spec samples if necessary and would enjoy working with a melody writer on original music.
I guess that's about it.

My passion is ...

The day - to day adventure of life.

I know too much about ...

How frustrating the music and writing business can be.

My parents always told me ...

Do what makes you happy.

My childhood ambition ...

To be a professional baseball player.

My favorite memory ...

The first time I was paid for singing and writing.

Why I write ...

Once you begin you'll never stop.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

There is always something new to catch in your creative net.

My first job ...

Paper boy

My best moment ...

A standing ovation after a good concert.

My inspiration ...

My mom and dad and everyone who believed in my talent.

Just bring back those velvet chairs and crystal canisters And golden banisters for ladies to hold When they get old When they get old Iron horse you can't wave at a pilot or make him blow his whistle when he's flying by. And that freckled faced boy watching for the train Will never get a chance to fly. Just bring back those velvet chairs and crystal canisters and Golden banisters for ladies to hold When they get old When they...
