IF OUR SONGS STILL MAKE IT (Sept 2009)Dedicated to my dear friend, Ellie Greenwich, who passed away in August of 2009.
KYM'S SO WILDE (March 2009)In the early 90s (hence the reference to video tape) I became infatuated with a beautiful adult movie actress named Kym Wilde. She seemed so innocent in the first tape I saw that I thought she was an amateur who had just done this one movie. Little did I know! After I recorded it on my first album, Songs For Future Musicals, I managed to get the song directly to Kym. I got back a sweet note and inscribed photo telling me how impressed she was with the song and that she might want to use it in her films in the future..
MY FATHER'S CAT (March 2009)This is a new song that has never been recorded.
WHERE DID THE MUSIC GO? (Jan 2009)There will never be another time in music as exciting as the period from '64 thru '66. I have tried to capture that in this song I wrote a few years back. Former Critter, Four Season & Shondell Don Ciccone is on vocals. The song was supposed to be recorded by Ron Dante but was eventually cut by the Tokens with an alternate lyric.

LETTER TO NORMA (July 1986)
Many years ago a very talented videographer/comic named Dave Edison came up to me at a comedy club where we were working and expressed his admiration for my work. He said he thought he could make a nice video of one of my songs. It actually won an award from Video Review magazine. By the way, that's my ex-wife, Darla Hill, portraying Norma. She played Sheila in A Chorus Line on Broadway (among many other credits!) The song was never released.
