BIO

I truly believe that once a song is released, it takes on a life of it’s own! If you’re a recording artist or a music publisher and you like one or more of the songs, please contact me. I hold exclusive rights to all songs.

I grew up in a small country town in eastern Connecticut. I’m now retired and working on my song catalog. For many years, I DJ’d a weekly radio show at WHUS, STORRS. My show was a tribute to the Great American Songbook. Please scroll down through the (8) pictures below to enjoy and play any complete song listed to the right of each picture.
