Sorry I missed your Altadena show! Keep me posted - I will show up! A film I did with Faye Dunaway has just been released on DVD - The Seduction of Dr. Fugazzi. I play Mr. Carducci. A theatrical premiere is being planned here in Hollywood...
Autumn turned 3 years old on March 3rd. She sees the world from down there. When I played, "Seed of Doubt", she spontaneously began to dance and clap her little hands. I agree with her!
You two SO rocked our show tonight! Thanks again for driving up and showing Santa Barbara what we're missing. We look forward to our show with you at the Duncans!

Hi Stephanie, I listen to your new album all the time. I just cannot tell you how much I enjoy each and every song. The music, the band, the drive, the intention and the lyrics are fantastic! You cover lots of ground from love, friendship, relationships, life situations, different people, letting go, etc. Wow, and PFC Milton's thoughts of "WHY Can't We" says so much to all of us....Thanks! You put your heart and Soul in this album and it shows! Thank YOU for being Who YOU are, a Giver that is filled with talent and love. Keep up the great work and I hope to catch a show sometime soon! Your friend, Victor
