MOON OVER EAST ST. LOUIS is a heartfelt Mississippi Blues ballad by my jazz buddy Greg Groeper (ENJA Records, Munich) from my home town Chicago describing the sad and hopeful realities of life in East St. Louis, Illinois. I re-arranged his song to fit my style and added some nice little solos.

THE UNIVERSAL SOUL OF MAN is an upbeat song I wrote with my son, John, a well-traveled man in his own right, and chronicles his world travels. The story takes us to several continents and features various languages and cultures while he searches for life’s meaning only to find how similar we are as humans the world over.

05 Universal Soul Of Man

KEEP THIS LOVE ALIVE is a pop style male/female vocal duet (biographical, if you will) I wrote about a couple trying to understand how to love through ordinary life struggles and limited success, and in the end about how keep it alive one way or another.
