Yes I'm capable of writing something You can dance too !  half disco half 80"s 

Jim's Techno Dance

This is a re-write from a song I wrote in High School. I added a few bridges and shortened it. I had a cold during these vocal tracks but this is a work still in the making.

Living Without You

This is the first orchestral arrangement I have ever composed that kind of goes into acoustic .
We are always reaching for someone or something in our lives.
This song was inspired by someone very very close to me who would love to meet her idol Taylor Swift  It has  made me realize that we all have dreams that sometimes seem impossible because the world is such a huge place and so many other people have the same desires and yet there are times when you find it’s not such a big world after all .

What Can I Say

I originally wrote this song with a different Title. I made a few changes with the help of NSAI and I am very pleased with it. I hope you enjoy the song 

I Didn't Want to Say Goodbye

Collaboration with Scott Horwath, Scott posted this beautiful song on a website called Macjams that he titled" Ripple" I thought it was a beautiful piano piece and I commented that I would love to put words to it. He replied, "Go for it !!!!" months later I found myself and my emotions trying to deal with my Nephew Steven Lichtenberg's diagnoses of inoperable brain cancer. He has been fighting it since 2003 and it keeps coming back after 2 surgeries. Now that it is back it is deeper and even more of a threat. He underwent chemo and radiation treatments at The Cleveland Clinic in March thru April of 2013 through all of his struggles I kept hearing the word Hope.  I decided to write the lyrics and call it  " Ripple of Hope" Thank You Scott for allowing me to write lyrics to this beautiful song. I always try to remember that no matter how bad something in Life seems, There is always hope in God, and I hope that Steven always knows how much he is loved . in May of 2015 My Nephew Steven went home to his heavenly home . He always hoped for a cure for brain cancer and we can all continue that hope until that day comes. 


Ripple of Hope               Lyrics by Jim Lichtenberg

Sometimes it’s hard
To understand
Sometimes it feels like the end

But please know  that someone cares for you
and please know   it’s not the end

Things happen for a reason
Many tears are shed and fall 
Hope  is  in  the one    who took your place
Truth is He died for you   He died for you

I can’t make you believe what I believe
But I know that I just want whats best for you
Just believe  Just believe that’s all you have to do
Time goes by like a ripple on the water 
There’s no time to leave important words unsaid

 Hope comes down like rain on the water
It’s falling washing all the fear away, away, away

Just Listen just Listen and you’ll hear it fall like rain

It’s clearly comes from Love
Just look at the stars above
My heart still cries inside for many reasons
Many times we search for a reason
Everything has it’s time and it’s season
But it’s covered  It’s covered It’s covered by his Love

Hope is in the one who loves you the most ,who loves you most 
and gave his life for you.


Ripple of Hope

I am a singer/songwriter/ Bass player musician who writes, records instruments vocals and harmonies using multiple tracks on Garageband in my home studio.
I was born Ohio and raised in Brunswick Ohio( suburb of Cleveland/Akron). I wrote and recorded my first song at age 15.
I played in a local band The Midnight Ramblers at quite a young age through high school 1984. In 1981 we recorded 10 original songs in a basement recording studio in 1981 and we sounded incredibly good together and I fell in Love with the recording studio and learned a great deal about the importance of vocal Harmony.
I love writing and recording but I was away from the recording part of it for almost 23 years. I have realized it was a major element missing in my life and but I am back thanks to Garageband and Steve Jobs.
I also have many many years of vocal training.
I was a 2009 -2010 member of The Baldwin Wallace Men’s Chorus Directed by Frank Bianchi and performed at The 2010 IMC National Seminar at Miami University.
I am a current member of NSAI( Nashville Songwriters Association International)
I am currently Playing Bass Guitar and Vocals in a Akron, Ohio based oldies band called NIGHT SCHOOL.
I have always been very blessed to be surrounded by great musicians.
I probably have the most diversified i-tunes menu you have ever seen.
I strive to always stay current and I’ll Never give up on my Dreams of writing publishing, performing or playing bass and vocals for a major artist. I can't imagine Life Without Music.
