I'm Dreaming . . .

. . . of a quality manual when I should be getting some rest. The visions include no sugarplums but do have a lot of copying and pasting, the bureaucracy fighting nobly to prevent substantial sleep. Flowers bloom and birds sing as the refuse trucks whine in the dawn and my fitful nap continues. But better things lie ahead with good friends and family in nice places where foamy waves lap at the sandy coast and blue skies meet the aqua expanse in my (nearer than I think) future . . . and music. . .

Dear . . .

. . . media outlet, . . .

. . . writing to let you know that Baltimore's own OHO will be releasing their latest album, following 2008's Bricolage, entitled GAZEBO. The collection is chock-full of original, prog, folk, pop, rock, jazz-inflected joy from Jay Graboski, David Reeve, Ray Jozwiak (with Bill Pratt's impeccable engineering and production) featuring contributions from a host of local and regional talent including T. Craig Considine, P. Daly German, Lisa Griffee, David Hughes, Mark O’Connor and Bill Phelan, to name just a few. The songs run the emotional, topical and stylistic gamut from A to Z and beyond, beginning with the opener, Ring In The Rightness- a positivity anthem for today, and including fusion instrumental Sought of Despond, multiple rockers and shakers, swampy Nawrlins, a touching ballad and much more.

Contact me if you'd like an advanced music sample (now) or a physical copy (available soon).
Looking forward to your hearing our music and to our hearing from you soon.

Writing . . .

I find that these days, I love writing. Writing just about anything, with possibly my favoriite - writing music. I don't necessarily mean transcribing, or writing down the notes (although I do enjoy that TOO), but I mean composing, working through melodies, chord progressions and many times, lyrics. Somewhere in the mid 80s, I began a creative, yet academic, exercise of writing as many songs as I could. Being inspired by much of the good pop music of the time, and much encouragement from budding singer-songwriter communities, I was averaging one new song per month. Maybe no record output, but very satisfactory to me for my own purposes. Now, in my attempt to capture some old demos (from cassette tapes) to digital, I am discovering many nice memories from the past.

This tune was written purposely to utilize the romantic, simple, trite, english of tin-pan alley plus, expanding my production chops, I decided to perform it in a doo-wop style singing multiple vocal parts acapella.

Express . . .

“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.”
— Victor Hugo

"One good thing about music: when it hits you, you feel no pain."
– Bob Marley

"I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me, like food or water."
– Ray Charles

"Music is a world within itself, it is a language we all understand."
– Stevie Wonder

"When you hear music, after it's over, it's gone in the air. You can never capture it again."
-Eric Dolphy

"I say, play your own way. Don't play what the public want - you play what you want and let the public pick up on what you doing - even if it does take them fifteen, twenty years."
-Thelonious Monk
