California Christmas

I wrote this for a movie..then the movie got cancelled. They wanted a thing that sort of sounded like...well, guess.  Co-produced by John Groover McDuffie and sung terrifically by Laura Sperrazza, with me and her in the BG.  I still like it.

A heartening message.  This song has been in several shows, including "Thanks a Lot - My Gratitusical!"  This is an original studio version sung by Courtney DeCosky.

Jesus Loves Little Losers

Small sample of over 300 jingles and pieces of commercial music I did from 1979 into the 2000s,before ascending into penurious theater work. A lot is missing, but 15 minutes is enough for anyone to wade through. Some pretty good stuff, including 2 Clio award winners.  Guess which?
