As one of the key people behind the scene, much of the group's musical success can be attributed to him. In addition, he rehearsed Earth, Wind & Fire for live stage performances and wrote many of the musical segue ways and medleys.
Larry had major creative influence in, and is proud of his contribution to such Earth, Wind & Fire classics as: "Shining Star,""Spirit,""Be Ever Wonderful,""Runnin',""Sunshine," as well as other melodies that will live on in the hearts of fans and popular music lovers alike.

Hey my friend how’s it going ? It is a gorgeous today, Just a little note to let you know that there has been an up-date on the music and photos, please leave a comment on the music, pictures or both.
Still recovering from major surgery, I love and miss you, my extended family and friends, will be checkin in from time to time , showing love and respect to you on your page.
There are periods of time when things aren’t going right-
Times when all the plans you’ve made might appear to be out of reach…
But as I have come to know, the darkest and most difficult moments actually signal the end of troubles
And forecast better days ahead.
From our saddest moments we are able to gain strength, confidence, courage and the knowledge that a brighter day is just over the horizon.
Have a wonderful week…remember to feed the mind it thirst for knowledge.
Thank you for the add larry. Thank's again for you inspiration. hope one day,you will come to play here in paris. take care & best wishes from france. peace))))
Larry, I'm very excited!! I let my geek alter ego loose and she built a neuro-audiovisual module that dynamically rewires the brain, is cross platform and may be used as easily by a baby as it may by an adult! Just wanna share it with you! :D :D (My company has also made a DPO; giving "commissions" to friends who successfully refer investors.) Visit my profile to learn more about all the above.
If I could live in L.A. , I'd love to be your student! Daily success, prosperity, well being and Peace to you!
