Everyday Heroes In New York

The Great Sacrifice : Hannahs Journey Home

The first home I remember living in was at Ponderosa Drive, a bi-level that I remember leaking water during a storm which made us abandon ship in the middle of the night. It was the home that we got our first pet - a miniature Schnauzer named Toby. There was a lot of Gun Smoke on the television. There are pictures of me wearing a cowboy hat or a Native American head-dress, brandishing six-guns (cap) and riding a 70's era toy horse suspended on a metal frame by springs. My early days were filled with 1970's naivety, stealing strawberry's from the garden next door, playing with the kids in the neighborhood and having no idea that there was a world around me much, much bigger than the little cul-de-sac we rode our big-wheels around. 

But, then it all came to an end one day. My dad moved out. It was the end of our family. At the time I was three years old so I really could not understand what and why things happened. I just remember my dad packing up the car and leaving.

That was that - my first lesson in how unfair life is at times.

Just my version of Mystic Mansion. All right go to Sega and the Sonic Team.

Sonic Heroes: Mystic Mansion

My version of the soundtrack from John Carpenter's: "  Escape from New York." 

Escape from New York

John meets Hannah (Tara's daughter) as a little girl, the savior of the world who has yet to be trained

Meeting Hannah again for the very first time

Have you ever felt like there were messages from the universe, from other dimensions, loved ones who have passed away, etc. that were meant for you, but that you didn't hear because you weren't paying attention or open to them? This song has made me think of that since I was a little doctor, and it kept appearing to remind me. This is a doctor mister dreamerfied version of a song originally composed by Paul and Linda McCartney and performed by Wings.

Let 'em in (cover)

The electronic and digital domain holds a special place in my heart because of they synthetic repetition that is captured - like a musical clock of sorts. 

Several listeners have claimed my music sounds like "video game" music. At one point, I used to take offense at this. But, as time has gone by, I have learned to not only accept that sentiment but embrace it. After all, I did invest countless hours in front of the Super Nintendo and Sony PlayStation, entranced by the fantastic worlds (and their soundtracks) that stirred my imagination and immersed me in the digital realms. So, if it sounds like something from a video game, there is good reason for this."
