Over the years I have had the opportunity to meet. sing and write with some extremely talented people. Some were and still are world famous.....some not so famous....but one of my observances in life , especially in the entertainment industry is that just because your extremely talented doesn't necessarily mean you will be famous and successful......on the other hand just because your successful and famous doesn't necessarily mean your all that talented. ( Im not sure that has to do with anything but I said it anyway) ..... Eclectic Mind is a collection of songs that reflects many of my experiences I've had and thoughts that I've pondered over the years.....about half the album was written by me alone and the other half with a few close friends and fellow muisicmen. There's songs about love....work....God....Hard times...Good times and even one to my Mother......Im very proud of this album and the people who helped make it a reality. Ive been writing songs and singing since the 7th grade and have accumulated hundreds of co written tunes with various people. I am mostly a Melody/Lyric guy but for the first time in a long time I sat at my baby grand and finished a bunch of songs.... music AND lyrics ...took them to my long time friends studio and with the help of some more extremely talented players finished them. I originally was going to release a EP with 6 songs but then I thought of all the studio recordings I had co wrote that never were released into the universe and thought.....why not......so I went back to my music room and picked out some of my favorites and re mastered them and put them on the record. I hope at least one song can make you feel good (or sad...that's OK too ) but for a Musicman (or Woman) we just want to help you enjoy a few minutes away from the crush of life with the sounds we create . I am grateful to have the ability to create the music and just putting it out there for anyone to enjoy if it strikes a cord within you.
