So Many . . .

So many times
I just want to let
My feelings and thoughts
and musings flow forth
but yet . . .

Try as I may
It won't always go
Quite the way I would like
Distractions abound
Inhibit the flow

". . . I'd like to promote some coolness scheduled to happen in the Spring of next year.
As many of you know, I've dabbled in numerous genres of music over the course of my career - more than once jumping into material with a decidedly jazz-influenced bend. During one of those periods, I polished up some bits and pieces of a song I'd started years ago called "Distraction". Fast forward to more recently and bring into play my friend, pianist Ray Jozwiak. In the course of our working together a few times, Ray came to arrange an instrumental version of Distraction heavily flavored with his own unique style. Well, I've just been informed that the song will appear on Ray's new CD "Black and White Then Back", scheduled to be released in April 2013. I'm highly honored by all this and urge lovers of instrumental jazz piano to look up this new disc when it's released to the world next Spring. Thanks Ray! . . . "

Thanks Doug.

But there's more. . .

. . . more what, you ask???

Much of my leisure time during my adolescent years was spent absorbed in music. Like the copier company in the Baltimore area with the humorous commercials, 'I lived and breathed the stuff.' And since my adolescent years were particularly uncomfortable, not only was music a distraction from school, uncomfortable social situations and my lack of self confidence, it also provided comfort. It was good therapy. And in more ways than one. While I was busy practicing, listening, transcribing and learning, I was absorbing theoretical concepts without consciously realizing it. Many Saturday evenings, when my contemporaries were 'out and about' exploring more prurient interests or logging invaluable experience with (as Zappa called them) 'the opposite camp', I was in front of a black and white television set showing Mary Tyler Moore with a sheet of manuscript paper in front of me, composing or transcribing my own solos or some Art Van Damme or Charles Magnante piece.
