The Evening Post

Already several years in the making, my third collection of poems will now definitely see the light of day. I just cannot say exactly when. Yet. Here’s a little taste…

Going through some old files I found this. It documents a night back in 2004. Just another New York night. A true story. If we are lucky there are experiences in life that we avoid or at least minimize. And a visit to the emergency room at the hospital is just such an experience. I’ve […]

Seriously…is it just me? I despair sometimes at how difficult basic communication has become. We live in a world that revolves around the written word more than ever before.

I’d never planned to do it but somebody asked me to. I took a considerable amount of time to bring together every lyric I’ve ever written that I consider worthwhile. And I have created an 8.5 x 11 inch book to coincide with the launch of my next album. Both are called LOOKING AT LIFE. […]

I have recorded this song many times with arrangements stretching all the way from solo acoustic to full band plus strings. I always loved the song but never felt […]

Quite some time ago I said my new album was almost finished. And at that time it was true. So where is it? With my apologies for my long silence on this site, here’s the answer. First, with much help from Karl Hindle, this site is now hosted by his company. Moves like this are […]
