Hello ... My writings are mainly inspired by recording artists of the 1970s such as Olivia Newton-John, Barbra Streisand, Roberta Flack, Harry Nilsson and The Beatles ... Later on came more song inspiration from Whitney and Celine ... These days, I'm inspired by the gifted singing trio of IL VOLO ...

I have played solo piano at clubs, bars and social gatherings ... My acoustic piano playing is featured on this demo ... I was a member of ASCAP for three years ... The song that I am submitting to ISINA is an unusually structured, slow and steadily rising love ballad called "SUSPENDED IN LOVE" ...

I've also submitted a song titled "THE GAME", which was featured on an album that was recorded by local singer Libby Lane and her keyboardist, Sal, at a recording studio in Florida ... (Later on, I mixed in my own backing vocals) ... Since Libby loves Shirley Bassey, I tried to write her a song that I thought Dame Shirley might sing ... The result was "THE GAME" ...

All songs that I submit are registered with The Library Of Congress in my name (music and lyrics) ...

The next song is my country parody, "ACRES OF THYME", which was inspired by THE MUPPETS ... Lead vocal by Sam and acoustic guitar by Ziv where recorded at Studio Pros in Los Angeles and I mixed in my own acoustic piano and backing vocals ... The newest version is called "ACRES OF THYME (UPDATED MIX)" ...

The next song recording is a newly recorded version of "SUSPENDED IN LOVE" ... I took the advice from ISINA'S first review of this song ... (This song was formerly submitted on a different recording) ... So, now I have brought in professional studio singer Jessica on lead vocal and Yoed on acoustic cello ... Both were recorded at Studio Pros in Los Angeles ... I then mixed in my acoustic piano and backing vocals ... The structure of "SUSPENDED IN LOVE" is definitely unusual in that it is basically one long verse followed by one long chorus ... The verse and chorus do not repeat ... However, I have tried to incorporate recurring musical themes throughout the song in the hope of creating something a little different ... This new version is called "SUSPENDED IN LOVE (STUDIO VOCAL & CELLO)" ... There are many long sustained or "suspended" notes in this song ... Hence the title: "SUSPENDED IN LOVE" ...
