As far as I can tell the world needs a hug so I decided to release these songs. No flash . These are rather scary times but music is still the ultimate and universal poltice. Indulge! Clive Davis " Please accept my gratitude and admiration for Please Don't Be Scared. It's a " killer" . Al Jarreau " Mindy, your writing is fantastic" Barry Manilow " I once told Mindy Sterling that she was put on this Earth to write this song for the world to hear" NOTES FROM THE ARTIST: I made a decision when I first discovered Jackson Brown's songwriting that if I was going to describe the struggle I had a responsibility to at least offer some hope and inspiration. If my work leaves you feeling more connected to yourself and to others, then I've done my artistic job. "Please Don't Be Scared" was written to my friend Katey Sagal. It has had a spirit of it's own since 1983. It's been heard all over the world assuring people that we are not alone in the daily dilemma of choosing " between survival and the right thing to do". "To Be Loved"- written as a possible credit roll for the movie "Homer and Eddie" with Whoopie Goldberg and Jon Belushi. The song got rejected but it remains a favorite and the sum total of my belief that everyone everywhere wants one thing bottom line. This musical moment of clarity cost me thousands of dollars of therapy and is now the world's for only a buck!! ah...show business. "Say You Will" was written to my wonderful husband Jon for his birthday many years before we were ever engaged. It was the first song of our amazing marriage soundtrack that is still continuing........stay tuned!
