A Father-Daughter Christmas CD

I was raised was in the traditions of Philadelphia music. My dad had a record production machine in the living room, and had written a song for my mom. My dad had a poem, "Christmas Toys" published in Christmas Ideals. My older brother played guitar, sang, and wrote songs. My uncle sang with a band and made a record. I played musicall the time and memorized everything. I was a four year disk jockey at the U.S. Naval Academy Radio Station WRNV. For one semester, I was station manager. During this time I started playing guitar and writing songs.

The Boy Who Would Have Loved You CD

After graduation I married and had four children. During their growing years my music was limited to lullabies, fun, and watching my talented kids perform. I started writing songs again years in 1989. Two of my children write songs.

A Father-Daughter Christmas is my first CD. My objectives with the Christmas song writing were to invigorate holiday music with new themes and sounds; writing a whole Christmas CD was purposeful. There are yet more Christmas songs to come. These are to complement my previous work so as to providethe musical component for my developing book and movie script, The Legend of Kalikimaka.
