About Me (Must include at least one paragraph of biographical information about you as a composer) - blank or minimal answers on this line will cause your request to be rejected. Include a link to your website if you have one.: A proud native New Yorker. Sang as a choir boy at Philharmonic Hall among other venues with Leonard Bernstein, Thomas Schippers and Noah Greenberg (a kewpie doll who knows the last two:-). Went to Sarah Lawrence College. Had a brief flirtation with a record deal. Played in a few Broadway shows. Helped write some long form infomercials when you could make money on them. Quit the Biz for ten years and have been inching my way back for the past three years. Am a member of the Manhattan Producers Alliance http://www.manhatpro.com/ which has helped me greatly. Just glad to be able to make music, as corny as that may sound (and it does to me...)

I'm sure my heart will be broken just the same:-)… Continue

I've added two new tunes to my list. "Morning Amor" is a cue that was done for Good Morning America that I thought achieved a nice laid back quality.

The song "Meant To Be Mine" has an interesting back story. I'm a member of a New York based group called The Manhattan Producer's Alliance (go to: http://www.manhatpro.com/ for more info on it) and we were recently approached by eSession ( http://www,esession.com ) to try out their service within the MPA community. eSession is a web… Continue

Best version of "Lil Drummer Boy" I ever heard!
You actually forced me to like that tune for a few minutes! :)
