- About Me:
- 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...)
