The first great poet I really knew was my maternal grandfather.  While his passion was caring for his congregation as a minister, poetry was his greatest gift.  His poems were beautifully written, moving and spilled straight out of his heart to be shared with others.

One of my most treasured possessions is a small book of poetry with just a fraction of his work.  In that book, there are poems written for friends going through dark times after the loss of a child, joyous verses written for his 50th wedding anniversary, and works revealing how much he was moved by daily life and his extensive travel to places near and far.

This composition is written not only for my grandfather, but for poets past and present, who share their hearts with us all.

The Poet

[Tartan skies the stars they blink 
Echoes rise the pints they clink
 Feet stomp hard on wooden floor
 Feel the earth shake hear the roar  
 Bagpipes wail the crowd ignites 
Accordion sparks the fiery nights 
Drums pound deep like thunder's call In this chaos we give it all 
Setting the stage alight tonight Hearts on fire spirits take flight 
The crowd screams and dances wild In the music's arms we're beguiled  

Setting  the stage alight

► Lyrics ◄
The night goes
Silence that soothes
Moon took the tide
Natural change
Contole is organic
There's a wind that responds
Breath that does good

Terral is his name
Raising the crest
Holding the wall
Imposing wave

Maral is his brother
Today he is not coming
It's from the land to the sea
Dolphin already knows
Good wave to catch
#Terral #Reggae #Surf

Terral

"How many crossroads are you allowed to have in life? I seem to have a lot of crossroads. I think maybe I crossed back across the same road too often." -- Queen Latifah

When I was younger, I imagined life would present a few major, yet basic crossroads. Of course, there have been many crossroads encountered since then…Life is filled with countless decisions and changes.  Some crossroads are obvious; others, not so much, and this can produce some significant stress until a choice has been made. Even after making a decision, doubt can linger: Was it the right path? Of course, only time will tell, but all crossroads, taken or missed, can still provide us with valuable life lessons and personal growth. 

This composition offers a glimpse into the crossroads we encounter in our lives, and the inner turmoil that may accompany the decision-making process.  As the piece nears the end, a very subtle change signals a decision and movement toward resolution.

Hey look
The newest lie
Just out of the oven
With that taste of truth
That goes down smooth and relieves
The hunger of the alienated

The fact doesn't feed
The truth doesn't satisfy
The gluttony of invention
The menu of the day
What we have for today
The same recipe for tomorrow

Run run run
Come and see
The news of the moment
The lie of the moment
It came on sap sap sap
I just want to believe it

The Hunger Of the Alienated

Nobody leaves Alive

I’m thrilled to share that my brand new single “Live Love” released June  2025 on Guitar One Records—a heartfelt, groove-rich track that captures the soul of contemporary jazz., with hints of Wes Montgomery, George Benson, Norman Brown and Ronny Jordan.

"Bad Liar" is a song by American pop rock band Imagine Dragons. It was released in 2018 on the band's fourth studio album, Origins. 

Solely natural intelligence was used to create this cover version, and I hope you'll enjoy it :)

Bad Liar (Imagine Dragons cover)

Machines can now play chess much better than humans. While playing online, there is a tempation to consult them to play the next move and win the games. It's a normal human desire to have access to a far superior intelligence to obtain counsel and guidance for our lives. In the old times this idea was made concrete in some religious objects, like the Urim and Thummim. Today we have hangars full of computer servers.

*** Urim and Thummim ***

How much can we ever know?
How big can we ever build?
How far can we ever go?
How fast can we ever learn?
How deep can we ever see?
How strong can we ever grow?

As far as I'm concerned, I'm just a prisoner, 
condemned to carry with me the constraints of my flesh.
Between the quantum foam
and the whispers from the cosmic abyss,
we keep searching the gloomy horizons
with larger than life apparatuses,
trying to reach the ancient libraries written in the fabric of time.
But how could we ever fit such vast knowledge
in the windings of our brains?
I suspect seer stones with the size of planets 
will expand our limits.
But even those devices may become exiguous. 
The most important thing to know
is to know we don't know much.

Urim and Thummim
