The Professional Crossroads....

- A Little About Me -

I've been a creative person for as long as I can remember. I still think of the first song I ever wrote - it was about a red robin. One day, I'll remember enough of it to write it down again, just for posterity.

My first introduction into music was when I remember hearing the radio and the DJ's. I just knew: "That's what I want to do!" I began drum lessons when in 3rd grade, but finances prohibited my continuing them and definitely prohibited getting any kind of "real" drum kit. I settled for a recorder and learned a little about music with it.

Years went by and I never had, nor made, the opportunity to pursue my real desire. Finally at about 20, I hooked up with a few guys and "Don't Walk" was formed. At first, we were not good at all, but as time went by, we got really good! We played some parties, some picnics and the like, but mostly jammed on the weekend and every other spare minute we could find. After a few years, we worked on a few originals, but never were able to complete them. As the old song goes...."Those wedding bells are breaking up that old gang of mine."

- Where I Am - Where I'm Going -

From these beginnings, the seeds of creativity have been sown and have begun to flower. After Don't Walk disbanded, I continued on with my music and creativity. I've worked with a number of musicians over the years on various projects and have performed at many live events. I have written numerous songs that are just now emerging into the public eye, hopefully to be performed by everyone at some point or another. I've completed 1 novel and am currently working on 3 others, along with other writing projects. If you need some copy or other creative material, please feel free to call. All original production work on my pages are for hire. Call me at 954-275-1600 or drop me a note for details. My goals are set, and the course has been laid out. My intent is to be able to provide songs and stories for use in all facets and genres of music, and for my stories to be read and made into movies for the big and small screen. Please visit my pages often, as they will continually be updated with new material and content in the months to come.

The Mohr intimate story...

David Robert Mohr was born in New Haven Connecticut in July of 1962. Being interested in music and stage from a very young age, David has performed on stage and with bands first starting in 4th grade where he had the lead role in the play: The Crab That Played With The Sea. David assisted the teacher in creating and arranging several of the songs used in the play.

David wrote his first song in the 3rd grade about a robin. The inspiration for the song came after hearing a song about a bluebird from a then famous film. His love moved more toward the musical side of the entertainment world from that point on. He acquired his first drum kit while in 3rd grade and began to take drum lessons and progressed rapidly. He joined a drum group being offered by the local Fire department while living in East Haven, but was unable to continue any of the lessons due to financial set-backs. David continued to teach himself the drums, using anything he could find, including phone books and oatmeal containers.

Continuing to cultivate his love for music, David continued delving deeper into songs analyzing their lyrics, melodies, backing vocals, harmonies & instrumentation. Learning dozens of songs and following the charts he found he was able to pick new songs that would be hits.

As life would have it, many years passed before he was able to connect with the right people. Forming a band called "Don't Walk" David was the lead singer and drummer. The band went on to cover many songs by many artists paving the way for development of his talent. As years passed, David found himself in and out of a few bands looking for the right combination. During this time, he found himself doing more and more writing, but not being able to put his songs to music. Not finding help with the musicians surrounding him, David decided it was time to branch off on his own and learn an instrument other then the percussive ones while continuing to improve his voice.

During a personal tragedy, David found himself out in Texas for a short time where he re-connected with an old band mate. They started another band where David was again the drummer and lead singer. After much convincing, encouragement & the gift of a guitar (and a promise to learn to play it) from that ole band mate, David left the drum kit and set out to learn the guitar, thus making it possible for him to put music to the lyrics he has been creating.

In addition, David continually found himself writing stories in his mind that he just never seemed to have to the time to commit to paper. Having told some of his stories to friends, he was convinced that he needed to put them down in writing for others to enjoy. Scrapping enough cash to get a laptop computer, David then had the tool he needed to bring his creative writing to life. Many nights he would sit in a local restaurant until the place closed (and on 3 or four occasions even after it closed) putting down his thoughts. This lead the the creation of many story lines that are currently being developed into books. Currently, David is working on 5 more novels and a screen play. His laptop is definitely kept busy.

David continues to showcase his talent through out the cities in which he lives and travels. He can always be found with a song in his heart and a tune echoing through his lips.

David has performed as a DJ on WZTA & WKPX in Fort Lauderdale, has performed at festivals & venues ranging in size from 2 to 2000 persons.

David maintains internet presence with several different pages and social networks. You can stop by his main production company page at: www.lightningnotes.com where you'll find some of his original music, original Novels & short stories and more information & links to the many facets of David's creative life.

"Before the invention of modern machinery, only bells and heavy artilleries were capable of producing noises that could compete with the thunderous roars of nature. In many ways, the fates of bells and cannons are inexorably intertwined: since they are made out of essentially the same materials, in times of war bells would be confiscated and melted down to create cannons and rifles. When the war was over, bells were then recast out of surplus cannons and weapons. The auditory coverage of bells defines territories, separating one community from another along cultural, religious, or ideological fault lines. Bells also connect individuals. When great care is taken in the tuning of bells, the purity of tone and fullness of volume become sources of collective pride. The abduction of bells on the other hand – often involving violent conflicts – aroused fierce animosities, and individual’s sense of belonging is greatly disturbed by such events." (Alain Corbin, 1998).

Approaching Troy is alternative/pop/punk rock band from Long Island NY.  With big plans and dreams of making their mark on the historic Indie Rock scene of their native Long Island, NY, Approaching Troy undoubtedly has an uphill challenge to achieve that goal. The music of Long Island has always had a long history with many famous indie bands leaving their mark.  The faint echos of that Revolution (predecessors Taking Back Sunday, Glassjaw, Dream Theater, Bayside and Brand New) can barely be heard these days around the suburban towns they were born in.  However, if the reaction from their loyal fans at live shows and the excitement over their soon-to-be released EP, “Dear Sadie” (a testament to the band’s potential as an Alternative/Pop/Punk/Post-Hardcore Rock leader) is any indication of a revitalization of that scene, then rest assured Approaching Troy is here to stay and ready to make their mark. 
 
The band started as a solo project for lead singer/rhythm guitarist Jake Salazar.  After months of writing, Jake decided to form a band with friends he knew who could carry the sound and vision he imagined for the band.  After trial and error and a few lineup changes, Approaching Troy was born.  For weeks after their first performance the band was the talk of the town bringing in fans from all over Long Island.  Since then, the band has played numerous shows to adoring fans in the Long Island, NY area, was featured in the newly redesigned "Get Signed Magazine" and the infamous Smartpunk.com as a featured artist.  The band has opened up for and supported legends of their genre like "Hawthorne Heights", "Red Jumpsuit Apparatus", "Ventetian Fair" and "The Ataris" just to name a few.  The band released their first official single "Star Crossed Lovers" off their album "Somnium" back in 2012 which caught the ears of industry and adoring fans alike for it's driving rock rhythm rhythms, pop sensibilities and memorable hooks.  Hooking up with their current managing firm Night Roads Entertainment Inc. back in the Spring of 2014, the band was off to bigger and better things. A 2015 mid-winter northeast mini tour, their first, was planned and executed with tremendous success and their new EP is set for release in late Winter of 2015 with even more buzz around it promised. 
 
"Having people just listening to our music is the most rewarding aspect of being a band", says Jake. "Our music is something that we create and that we believe in and are happy to share with our fans.  Once you listen to one of our songs we consider you part of the Approaching Troy family". 
 
Approaching Troy’s mission is simple: Take the band to new heights and new territories, one exciting live show at a time; while helping bring the sounds of Long Island's historical rock scene and it's live rock community back to life once again.

Their fans don't miss a show and neither will you if you sign up for their mailing list and check in on Facebook and Twitter for the latest from your favorite Long Island band.

"Music that makes me feel the presence of my inner self. A soul dancing, swinging rhythm and expands around my physical body. The rhythm and the song awakens something deep inside me that feels both coming from a distant place while the place feels very natural and at home. The music evokes memories of past lives. I leave here and now and just is. I sense the presence of animals and nature but also the city and people - Sacred healing songs - music for my inner self."

from Louise 2015

”Aschima´s music Awakens and Touches. I come in contact with the primordial power when I listen to her music that carries an Eastern tone with scents of India. I love those dimensions that emerge through the music!”
Cosmic Johanna, 2014

”Magical healing music in sounding tones that touches the souls meeting with the self! The voice is a sacred healing for body and soul. I use the music often for spiritual training!
Namasté Sann ” 2014


Homing from Pontiac, MI there's no rapper from the Midwest like S-Dot. Starting at the young age of 13 Dot blew up on Yaktowns underground scene with what mixtape fans consider "Classic Mixtapes" time & time again. Being one of the first from his city to spit "100 barz" "200 barz" and the infamous "300 barz" put S-Dot in a catagory of his own even while anchoring a group called "Newbreed." 4 Mixtapes in and 5 years since S-Dot's last release. Will the sleeping giant arise a giant? That's the big question Pontiac's dying to know. And in 2013…The world will have Dot's answer…B.A.R.E Entertainment Brothers.Acquiring.Riches.Errday Coming Soon. Trials & Tribulations Tha Mixtape.

IAmFire - Tune in, turn on and drop out.

IAmFire is psychedelic mindblowing rock in its heaviest, most life-affirming and trippiest form. It's equal parts The Beatles "Revolver", Black Sabbath, in a unique accessible recipe.

IAmFire takes stoner-rock to a new level, continuing where bands other bands in the vain of Kyuss and Tool left off.

This is the sound of smart drugs, sex, love and enlightenment. This is rock n roll in 2014.

IAmFire is the brainchild of Mikael and Ulf. Starting out as Sub Rosa, first as an instrumental combo with Mikael Ehlert, Ulf Scott Hansen and Peter Olsen. Peter Dolving was invited a couple of years ago to join the festivities, bringing a whole new level of vocal harmonies and lyrical depth to follow the rabbit through the looking-glass.
The seasoned four-piece consisting of bassist Mikael Ehlert, Ulf Scott Hansen on drums, Peter Olsen on guitar and vocalist Peter Dolving.
IAmFire are truly roughneck veterans. The gentlemen of IAmFire have a past in bands like The Haunted, and Hatesphere, etc. They have been around the block, seen the sights, and came out on the other end still with a drive and passion.
Musically inspired by everything from Sonic Youth, Black Sabbath, Kyuss, Led Zeppelin, Joy Division, and a love for Bill Hicks infamous "ride". 

Consider this is an invitation. 
IAmFire welcomes you to step into a world of heavy and ecclectic, that very few touch. 

So get ready to get down with the groove. IAmFire lays it out in way that only bands like Mastodon, Torche and Neurosis come close to.

Come on down.


Not much is known about the infamous kleptomaniac known as Caps the Crook (a.k.a. No Good Crook). Even basic information such as where he came from, what species he is, or why he’s pink remains unknown due to his reclusive nature. Some loathe his sticky fingers and consider him a menace to copyright laws, while others hail him as a champion of the fair-use movement. While he keeps his exact location a secret to the general public in order to stay under the fed's radar, whispers among the most elite hipsters reveal his current location to be somewhere in Los Angeles...
