Right album at exactly the right time.I’ve spent the better part of the last two months buried under a pile of the hardest and heaviest of rock and metal that this world has to offer. At one point on this past metallic journey, I do believe I commandeered Charon’s skiff and piloted myself to a previously unknown ring of the hot lands of tortured souls. Charon wasn’t too pleased and told me t

I love stumbling on a great local artist. My new publicist also represents this guy and he is a tasteful as hell songwriter.Caught him at Rockwood last night. Laser tight band who had apparently not rehearsed in over a month. You never would have known it. Drummer plays with Sam Bisbee too; a phenomenal songwriter.The tune Faraway, off his new record, was my fave of the evening. And live was ki...

Happy Sunday you glorious moggers you. It's clear blue skies and 75 here in NYC. Whoa!So last week I posted my version of Beethoven's "Fur De Lis" and this week it's The Small Faces "All or Nothing." After watching the live video of the original below, I think it was quite a dubious move on my part! Steve Marriott is a rock legend, but the song has just always moved me and I couldn't resist do...

I wrote this for my dear and lifelong friend, Fred Gabler, upon returning from searching for him at hospitals throughout NYC during the horrifying days after 9/11. He was a hilarious man, a true and loyal friend, and a wonderful husband and son. We grew up together and also went to college together.
