Cognition. . .


Fly among the musings free;
Regarding not tradition.
From one to next and then one new.
It's all my own cognition.

Explosive . . .


In my pursuit, I have no qualm,
Plunge ahead while remaining calm.
For a bit of comfort, I whisper a psalm
Then moving forward, launch da bomb

Wiser . . .



Wisdom, many wrongly feel,
Comes naturally with age.
The time frame's right
But, unaided, don't
Expect it at this stage.

It won't arrive automatically.
One has to work; one has to try
To develop, most emphatically.
No effort brings you no result.
No lethargy can you justify.

None . . .


. . . whatsoever . . .


The title of my latest release 'No Frills' exemplifies the 'gonzo' piano approach that I took over a decade ago in performing original songs instrumentally (although many do have lyrics also) on acoustic piano (my weapon of choice) without accompaniment, digital or sample additives, studio embellishment (with the possible exception of  some eq, reverb and the like) etc. And with this, my tenth offering, have adopted my evolving penchant for very little narrative or visual accoutrements to possibly an even greater degree.  Needless to say, I am quite pleased with the results. I continue my spiritual and technical evolution to much personal satisfaction. . . I hope to yours as well.

None Whatsoever . . .


(from http://quotes.yourdictionary.com/frills#zj7oruRbIDDBiyUZ.99 & http://www.azquotes.com/quotes/topics/frills.html)
Contingency is rich and fascinating; it embodies an exquisite tension between the power of individuals to modify history and the intelligible limits set by laws of nature. The details of individual and species's lives are not mere frills, without power to shape the large-scale course of events, but particulars that can alter entire futures, profoundly and forever.
-Stephen Jay Gould

Clutter is the disease of American writing. We are a society strangling in unnecessary words, circular constructions, pompous frills, and meaningless jargon.
-William Zinsser

Art is humanity's most essential, most universal language. It is not a frill, but a necessary part of communication. The quality of civilization can be measured through its music, dance, drama, architecture, visual art and literature. We must give our children knowledge and understanding of civilization's most profound works.
-Ernest L. Boyer
