In 1965, the Powerhouse Songwriting Trio of Carole King, Gerry Goffin & Phil Spector, wrote this classic gem, "Just Once In My Life."
It was first recorded by The Righteous Brothers in 1965, then The Beach Boys released their version in 1976, on their album 15 Big Ones. 
It's just another Classic Favorite for me, that I enjoyed putting my own special touches on.
I hope you ALL enjoy listening to it, as much as I enjoyed recording it.
Thank you Everyone, for ALL of your continued support with my music.

Just Once In My Life

While I Fly (To The Stars)

This Smooth Jazz instrumental, "Through Your Eyes," to be included on my soon to be released EP, encourages you to just simply close your eyes and envision just how that special someone may see you....

With the piano and soprano sax, playing off each other melodically, sometimes a song is better off without words and left up to the listener, to interpret the emotions it may awaken in them...

"It seems that my memories, are all being written into my songs...
And oh, what a "soundtrack" it is turning out to be!!!"

As always, Thank you for listening and your support....

In The Blink Of A Year

(When I See Me)Through Your Eyes

Hoffman Brothers - Unbroken But Blue

This latest creative musical journey, leads me down a road that takes me back in time, while growing up in the 60's and 70's, listening to fantastic vocal bands with wonderful melodies and tight & smooth harmonies. 

"It's You Girl," brings a gentle melody with subtle instruments and a background vocal harmony influence, of one of my favorite 60's bands, 
"The Association!" This one was a true pleasure to create!

Once again, a thank you to my life-long "brothers" and dear friends, Jeff Hoffman on bass guitar and Mark Hoffman, for assistance in background arrangements.

"It seems that my memories, are all being written into my songs...
And oh, what a "soundtrack" it is turning out to be!!!"

As always, Thank you for listening and for your support...

It's You Girl

Sometimes, when a Guitar, an Acoustic Bass, a Sweet Soprano Sax and a Sweet Tenor Sax, all come together in one room, that's all you need, to create something special.
My latest original, "Thinking Of Her," is just that to me...Something Special.

Sometimes you need the words...
And sometimes...................
You...just...Need the Music...

"It seems that my memories, are all being written into my songs...
And oh, what a "soundtrack" it is turning out to be!!!"

As always, Thank you for listening and your support.

Thinking Of Her

Late at night, when the only light, is the glow of the fire and your mind wanders off to that "special someone..." Sometimes sitting quietly at the piano, closing your eyes and allowing those feelings to turn into music, is the best therapy...
No run through. No Practice. Just hit record and "play" the emotions...

"It seems that my memories, are all being written into my songs...
And oh, what a "soundtrack" it is turning out to be!!!"

A Heart's Quiet Interlude

"Where Is The Mercy"
Is simply, a "one on one" conversation, that comes together musically and lyrically, as an introspective and personally reflective song on life, choices and outcomes...

A big thank you, to my friend and Bass-Master Extraordinaire, Jeff Hoffman, for adding his personal touch in this song.

I hope you enjoy "Where Is The Mercy" and as always, thank you again for listening. 
It seems that my memories are continually written into my songs...
And what a soundtrack it is turning out to be!

Where Is The Mercy

"Simply Walking By" is a new original, that was truly a joy to write, record and produce! 
A fun, feel-good song, sharing that experience and excitement, of seeing "someone" for the first time that you just have to meet, and after meeting them, it just "feels right!"

A HUGE shout out to my "musical brother" of a lifetime, Jeff Hoffman, for lending his "masterful" talents on Bass guitar and Lead guitar!

I hope you enjoy "Simply Walking By" and as always, thank you again for listening!

It seems that my memories are continually written into my songs...
And what a soundtrack it is turning out to be!

Simply Walking By

No I don't know where to start
I think it's best for both of us
To keep dancing in the dark 
For a while

You should know I'll never leave
Just because we're not where we should be
And we'll figure it out
In a while

Love can break your heart with no one around
And it can tear you down without a sound
But I would never wanna go without
So come a little closer now

Darling we've come so far
I'll lay your head down in my arms
Close your eyes and we'll sleep it off
For a while

Love can break your heart with no one around
And it can tear you down without a sound
But I would never wanna go without
So come a little closer now
