Here is a recording that Uncle Neil Rosengarden somehow saved - of a message I left with my oldest daughter who was then about 3 - on his answering machine. It was a tune I wrote and sang for Valerie when she was a child - it is called, "You are my love tonight!"

My good friend from childhood, Joe Berger, and I played together when he came to visit as I was recovering from two brain aneurysms - in 2021.  Joe and I were in a band in high school - and he was one of three band mates who made a career in music.  Joe played with many great musicians over the years and started a marvelous boutique music school in NYC - called Hey Joe Guitar.
