My new CD (album) is now finished. It contains 17 original songs, some were already used and broadcast on Network Television in the past few years but many are new and have never been released. I feel that these are my best compositions and I am happy that I can share them with you. I worked very hard on this CD for the past couple of years and I am very pleased to be putting out a high quality product. Every drum, guitar, bass, piano, vocal and orchestra sound was produced and recorded just I wanted with a big studio, live band feel. Only real instruments were used, no sequencers, drum machines, beat boxes or samplers. Every lyric, harmony, chord, riff, beat, solo etc. was anylized forward and backward to make sure it fit and sounded right.                                                           

With all that said, I do not take my songs too seriously. I am serious about music and will not compromise the art when it comes to producing a song, but a song itself is just a song. Some people will love it, some will like it, some will not care too much for it, and some will hate it. That is reality. So as much as I would love for everyone to enjoy my album, I must be realistic and know that some songs will be liked and some disliked, just as every other album ever made. I do guarantee that this is real music from real musicians with no selling out whatsoever. None of these songs were written to try to make a buck, or try to make a top 40 hit. These songs are just the way I wanted them, produced by my guidelines, the way I want to hear them. Most are longer than the "radio standard" 4 minutes while some fit the modern radio format.      

My goal was to make a great album that I could be proud of, after all it is my name that has to be on it. I was not and still am not worried about what the "sound of today" is, or if the majority of the people are going to like it. I did not set out to get rich off this music, I simply tried to write great music and I feel that I accomplished that. In fact if there is a "sound of today" it is a small, over digitized, synthesized, plastic sound that too many artists are settling for. No pitch correction machines or effects were used on this album either. Let's get back to real Rock music. Doesn't anyone play guitar anymore?  Below are some samples of my music.
