Singing
My love of music came from my dad. He played trombone in a dance band in college, and he heard many of the songs from that era. Of course, like any self-respecting kid of the 70′s, I enjoyed a lot of the favorites of the day such as Earth, Wind and Fire, and the Gang. I also enjoyed singer/songwriters such as James Taylor, Carole King, Billy Joel, and Elton John. As a kid, though, I got into old radio shows from the 40′s and 50′s. Theater of the Mind stuff. One morning the alarm that was supposed to wake me up to go to school was set to radio. I started listening to Sinatra, Tormé, Goodman, and Bird.
Ever since that moment I was hooked. This experience also opened my musical tastes up to all styles of music. My musical heroes include Carole King, Bette Midler, James Taylor, Billy Joel, Elton John, Frank Sinatra, Mel Tormé, Charlie Parker, Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald, Al Jarreau, Bobby McFerrin, Harry Connick, Jr. and Norah Jones; just to name a few. Realizing that musicians of every style influenced each other, I gravitated towards other styles as well such as country/western, blues, and even the sounds of Broadway.
My musical style is unique. I sing with the sensibilities of a jazz singer and writes with the influence of King, Taylor, Joel, and John but also with the influence of the great Broadway songwriters. My original songs have a message. Mostly the message is of love: love lost, love gained, love wished for, etc.; but the words have meaning. Not able to rest at merely “having a good beat and being easy to listen to”, I want to touch the human heart in the only way I know how: through my words.
