Last year I composed a score for the film "LOCAL COLOR"(see www.localcolornetwork.com). Without doubt this is in the top five of all the work I've done over the last 30 years.

This in turn led to me to the decision to share the most private musical part of me....kinda scary actually!

You see I started playing the piano at the age of four. Throughout a turbulent childhood the piano was always consistent, always available and never stood in judgement or commented. The piano was my place of refuge...a safe haven for a passionate, sensitive kid who was trying desperately to understand his world.

Now almost 50 years later it is time for me to share the music that I have only played for myself.

"SONGS FROM THE HEART" is a collection of pieces that I feel only to be a vehicle for....it just came through me.

If you like the music please feel free to add me as your friend and I will update you on the progress of the release.

Thank you for listening. Songs From The Heart For more information visit: http://www.montereymedia.com/theatrical/films/local_color.html

Songs that touch the heart *****
By psdrummin

Within the first ten seconds of "Pure" I knew this record would speak to me. It takes me to that place every dreamer wishes they could go and reaches deep inside where no amount of introspection or therapy could ever discover. This is one reason music is created, to illuminate the dark corners of a soul that longs to see a sliver of light and finds places that only a beautiful piece of music can graze. It may be just me, but this record really heals me and makes me fall in love with being a listener all over again. Songs From The Heart .. ..>

Hi Fade, I was just listening to some of the Local Color soundtrack again and I had an interesting thought (makes a change) "Did George Gallo play any sax on the soundtrack?" I Know he used to play but I'm not sure if he's had to hang up his reed.

Anyway, what projects are you working on nowadays?

Singing, building without rest;

Life is stirring everywhere,

Save within my lonely breast...."

Hey there!  Stopping by for my nightly listen.  Yep, I still do that.  Who is the lady singing Over the Rainbow?  Oh, co-wrote my first song today.  have 2 of my new songs up on my player.  Rise had a little Leah influence!  At least it was hard for my producer to classify.  Umm....country/rock/pop?????LOL.  Love to know that guy you thought we should look up in Nashville.  Singing there again in Sept.  Have a few co-writing sessions too!  Have a super night.
