There goes another historic day for the USA that I am witnessing from the Southern Hemisphere. For someone who seems to talk way too much about Ellis Island, I sure have a knack for missing those moments.  Not that I’m complaining about the balmy Auckland summer after arriving here a week ago from snowy New [...]

…the 5th of November. Or the 4th, really…BUT, the 5th is the first day that the US woke to the reality of Barack Obama as its next president. AND, I happen to be in New Zealand for one more week, so for me, the election took place on Wednesday the 5th (my NZ bias creeping [...]

With Round 1 of the New Zealand ALL or NOTHING phase complete, I’m back in New York and rocking out with the band. It was a great trip back home: as well as the obvious catching-up with family and friends, the album release in NZ was a wonderful way to kick off the official ALL [...]

It’s almost release day here in New Zealand! ALL or NOTHING goes into stores throughout New Zealand on August 18th on the Sony/BMG-distributed Rajon label – this is the first domino to fall in the snow-balling ALL or NOTHING tsunami (oh yeah, I think I just combined three metaphors.)
I’m fond of lame puns, so here [...]

I knew I was home when I received a call from the affable guy setting up a guitar of mine. It’s a Taylor acoustic, and needed some adjustments made. He said to me, “I see that there’s been no arrangement made for payment – let’s make it a box of beers.” I [...]

Below are several photos from the Bitter End show on Thursday night. Thank you to the wonderfully energetic and rocking audience that made for such a fun night! As yet, I have no news to report regarding my dedication of “You, You, You” to Neil Diamond (who, as I mentioned, frequently played the Bitter End [...]

I am often asked why I chose the title of this album to be ALL or NOTHING. Because it’s something that means a lot to me, and because I often wish I could say more when condensing my verbal answer into a couple of sentences, I have decided to write a little about it here, [...]

I wrote a song last year entitled “Lost In You” (not yet recorded). Broken-heart-love-songs are not all that frequent for me – as much as I truly love them, I usually end up writing about something else. But this song was definitely one of those (and she knows who she is!).
Well, the heartbreak I experienced [...]

Greetings from New Zealand, where I’m preparing for the NZ launch of ALL or NOTHING (a few weeks yet – not until my next NZ visit – though it’s already available online: iTunes and CD Baby). Last weekend saw the shoot of the music video for Inside Out, which should be available next month (editing [...]

New York State, that is. How can one explain the sudden excitement that has gripped New York so far this year, what with the NY Giants’ Superbowl win in February; Governor Spitzer’s sudden resignation amid a prostitute scandal; and now the new Governor Paterson’s frank sex-talk the day after taking office?
