Where Will Life Have Taken You By Your 20 Year Reunion? From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home The Big Twenty! I went to mine this past weekend at The New Rochelle Raddison Hotel. As I type this blog I am thinking to myself, “Should I include my personal life into these blogs?” The answer is yes. Absolutely! Life is what makes art happen. So yes, let’s talk about this experience for a moment, if you don’t mind. The main thought that comes to my mind is: Choose freedom over security and watch life start to open up. Now, this does not in any way mean to live life like a gypsy, which I admit, I had been doing for many years. Yes, I had been living day to day, not taking into account anything but my career as a singer and songwriter, my desperation in wanting to “make it” in the industry. That, by the way, has not allowed for me to have much of a balanced life. It’s like I was stuck in the air on a seesaw for so many years with The Incredible Hulk, my ego, as my partner[…]

Blog #2: I Wonder… Does This Fear Ever Subside?
From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home I am letting you know from the very birth of this blog series that there is this voice inside of me that desperately wants to believe that I am wasting my time doing what I love most, music. It’s telling me that no matter what effort and energy I put towards writing, singing and creating music, it will never be enough, so I can forget about ever doing it full time! I hear this voice so loudly in my head sometimes that I start to panic. I want to introduce this voice to you now so that you can get a clear picture of my experiences along this journey, both internal and external. So, the past day has been focused on me pausing and breathing, rather than jumping right into a full list of actions that will lead me toward getting my music out there on a larger scale. I have been reconnecting with the idea that I do not control anything in my life no matter how much I want to believe I do. My ego would make me believe I was a superhero if I[…]
Blog #1:Who Knows What Will Happen!
The first blog of… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home Who knows what will happen! I am here to figure it all out as I go and share every step of it with you. So what made me think of this title? Well, I have a song called, Pinocchio, and in many ways this title connects to the driving force in me right now. This will all come out as the blogs continue. For now, let me just say that I am a singer, a songwriter and a guitarist who has a very solid purpose, to be of service to others through writing, singing and playing music. I love music! I love listening to it, I love singing to it, but most of all, I love creating it. There is no better sensation then when I sit down to create something and have no clue what will come out and then realize a few hours have passed and I am left with this new birth of a song. It is pure inspiration that does this. It always finds it’s way gently inside my mind, my body and my[…]
