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)
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.
