“It's impossible to pick an absolute favorite because I've been so lucky to have worked with some great people. I was the drummer in a "ensemble” called Pink Slip Daddy that was super fun & always different. The members were Mick Cancer (vocals) & Sal Mineo's Only Son (guitar) both from Philly punk rock band "The Sickidz!” Barb Dwyer on bass, also later Jezebel on bass. Gigs were outrageous, and people still approach me with ridiculous and hilarious stories that I'd forgotten about. The chemistry between us was undeniable. We rarely discussed song structure, but somehow everything fell into place at the same time it was falling apart - in a good way.
I hope that people dig my songs and can relate to them in their own way, maybe have a laugh or a cry.

I recently did a children's CD with songwriter Rachelle Garniez that was a blast! We got together & wrote a bunch of totally ridiculous and fun songs for kids called "KinderAngst" and released it last June. We've collaborated on other stuff since, including my new CD.”
"I'm now working with a few super talented fellas - Michael Lynch, Mark Brotter, & Richard Devgreene. They also played on my CD & our shows are always a blast!"
