I am working on music again and I am super excited! I picked up the guitar in October of last year and am trying to work solely alone this time around. The main reason is that I want to finally follow through on having a full album professionally produced and available on iTunes. I feel that my having complete control of the project will help in accomplishing my goal. Unfortunately my past projects were never completed after becoming too complicated with more than one opinion in decision making efforts and lack of funds.

I have missed writing music so much after a 10 year hiatus and felt it was time to move forward. I realize that I can no longer rely on a guitar player to help because I need to be able to share if the opportunity arises so I am working on learning how to play the guitar and sing my own tunes. I will be co writing with some other great musicians and songwriters but the overall album concept will be my own.

Here are my first two test practicing in my living room with my big dog as my audience. I am not much of a musician so be patient with the guitar picking, the album will have professionals involved! I would love to hear what you think about these song’s…feel free to share your thoughts!

“Miss You”
This song was 8 years in the making. I wanted to create something that was dedicated to the beautiful relationship and memories of 3 best friends I lost tragically since 1008. This song came together on November 17, 2015 after several hours of putting my thoughts and memories down on paper. It is dedicated to Todd Garrett, Dina D’Gerolamo and Victoria Bowen, 3 very important people who are no longer here in flesh but live on in spirit.

“Superwoman”
This was the first song I completed after my 10+ year hiatus of songwriting. I wrote it for my best friend Lisa Palet Goldstein after watching her struggle through colon cancer for more than a year. We all watched her go through the radiation and chemo like a superwoman and even started a support group where we all referenced her strength to “Wonderwoman”. Thankfully she is now cancer free. This is my tribute to her strength and positive demeanor through what she refers to as her most difficult life time hurdle.
