Influences
There are so many great musicians out there. My all time favorite guitarist is Joe Pass followed by Steve Giordano of Philadelphia, George Benson, Pat Martino, Johnny Smith, Alex DiGrassi, Michael Hedges, Ralph Towner to name a few. Singers I am influenced by are Elvis (odd yes but he is definitely in there), Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Al Jarreau, Bobby Caldwell
I am also deeply influenced by the philosophy of New Thought, Kabbalah, Tarot, Zen, Patanjali. All of these tend to filter the songs I write. You write what you are.
The night winds carry sounds softly as if by design.
There in the muted light of a crescent moon I begin to play.
At first the chords find nowhere to bounce off.
The silence does not echo their reply.
Then a single chirp above it all high and cheerful unexpected at once and then as it becomes familiar it blends with the music. Now I can feel each creature tuning in to listen almost as if this single night singer has made it okay for everyone around to be not only a part of the audience but also a part of the performance.
Sounds Like
Al Jarreau, George Benson, Seal, James Taylor
If the stars had eyes they would be yours,
If the moon were a jewel it would be on your finger set inside a golden circle
If the sun could sing it would sing for you.
And if the night could remember it would remember your smile.
The winds of change blow across this land
Inside are you and I to understand
That freedom comes from unity’s glow
That we are one with love to show.
We share a common purpose too
Across the generations new
From sea to shining sea me and you
Expect to have our dreams come true.
This is our America the country the idea grand
Let’s make this moment ours sacred to stand
Above the differences that separate us all
And see only how we may heed this call.
Unity the word hidden in plain sight
For these states united with all their might
Brotherhood for all mankind so right
That this moment upon us has come tonight.
Unity. United. One nation under God.
That’s our America.
Shining the light through each of us.
Nothing may ever take it away.
Through my music and my writings I want to encourage everyone to go for their dreams and to realize that all it takes is a solid intention to do so and the rest will flow inevitably like those waves endlessly lap our golden shores.

I've been a musician all of my life except before the age of ten I thought I was a baseball player, a pilot, a high flying trapeze artist, a sword fighter, an adventurer, an army man; in short all of those things kids dream of after going to the Saturday afternoon matinees.
None of those stuck but playing the guitar sure did. What a passion I've always had for the guitar and for singing.
I played professionally during the Seventies and early eighties between NYC and Philadelphia. All during this time I wrote songs but never performed them live. It wasn't until much later beginning in 1995 that my wife JJ (harmonica) and I spent the next seven years playing coffee houses as the band JJ Slim on the left coast between LA and San Diego. Every song I played was an original tune. Out this incredible time we produced a CD ONE SHINING STAR
Each moment creates for itself the exact purpose for which it was intended.

Don't run from happiness in fear of pain. Don't open your umbrella, dance in the rain. Don't be selfish, learn to give. Don't be scared to laugh, love, live.
I Believe In Second Chances, I Just Don't Understand Why People Abuse Their First.
