I'm recording a new LP, which will appear some time next winter. Here's a demo of one of the songs 'Raymond And The Wires' recorded in Cardiff with Charlie Francis on piano.

Raymond And The Wires

	
This critically hailed holiday disc represents the talents of a diverse group of unsigned artists from the New York/New Jersey metro area. 

THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
"The best of several new 'alternative' Christmas collections." 

THE NEWARK STAR-LEDGER
"One of the most engaging new Christmas rock albums of 1996, especially for those who prefer tight, quirky power-pop songs to sober reflections on the holiday's meaning." 

THE HUDSON COUNTY CURRENT
"A savory holiday compilation. The ten songs on the CD...range from power pop to country to jazz-inflected crooning. Each is a polished number, and the whole a spicy stylistic blend." 

THE AQUARIAN WEEKLY
"Packed with first-rate material from start to finish, and an essential addition to any holiday hit parade."

GENE HACKMAN (lyrics)

If you found yourself in hot pursuit
You might call on Steve McQueen
But Steve never chased an elevated train down
So, I’d rather have Gene

Or to listen in on conversations
You might hire an entire surveillance team
But for this particular intrusion
I’d rather have Gene

Gene Hackman
Shines when they call action
And it’s always a better movie
When he’s on the screen

If you wound up in a crisis of conscience 
On a U.S. nuclear submarine
Some might side with Denzel Washington
But I’d rather have Gene

Gene Hackman
Shines when they call action
And it’s always a better movie
When he’s on the screen
Gene Hackman
Keeps the film world turning
And he should have received the Oscar
For “Mississippi Burning”

Oh sure there are plenty of other actors I admire
I’ve spent enough cash to watch them on the silver screen
So much so that I’d put ‘em all on my softball team
But you know who I’d have batting cleanup
Yeah, that would be
Yeah, that would be
Gene…

If you wound up on a ship in peril
On the unforgiving sea
Leonardo couldn’t lead me to safety
So I’d rather have Gene

Gene Hackman
Shines when they call action
And it’s always a better movie
When he’s on the screen 
Gene Hackman
Shines when they call action
And it’s always a better movie
When he’s on the screen
