Hi Phil, I stopped by to listen to your music again..I enjoy it very much, hope you add more to the page someday. Hope all is going well for you, and that you have a great week.
You know..I don't think I had the chance to tell you..I only got to see your Father sing a solo once.. it was on a rerun of the Ed Sullivan Show..and he had such a great clear sound..he sang in the style of Sammy Davis Jr..except he sang it better than Sammy did. You have a very long line of Talented relatives..congratulations..keep going..you've got that same talent..use it where needed..and don't spare the horses..sometimes society puts in the wrong position to reap the benefit of our own hard labor..being your own Producer helps even the odds. The greatest Artists of our time..were Independent producers first...and last and they did very well..and if not..atleast they were satisfied that they got a taste of the success that they sought.
The list of Independent producers Stars is long..
James Cagney, The Marx Brothers, Charlie Chaplin Harold Loydd, Laurel and Hardy, Harry Langdon, and so many Big Band Leaders and Singers that the list includes your Grand-Father and your Grand-Uncle Bob and Frank Sinatra.
