Under the Sapphire Moon

Carolyn and I have been writing songs since 1997. Our first song was Safari Mitzi." Over the years, we've gained a wealth of musical knowledge and expertise from arrangements by Frank Metis, Noah Luna, Alexis Lamb, and Michael Gancz. Frank, in particular, took me under his wing like a father, providing the encouragement I needed when I first started out. I've also composed several songs on my own, and all of them are original, just like Carolyn's lyrics. p> This collection represents my love songs, carefully curated. I deliberately avoid writing commercially mundane songs for the younger iPhone generation, who often prefer loud noise with booming effects produced on a computer using drum machines. It's not just about creating hits in genres like country, hip-hop, or rap; sentimentality doesn't always resonate these days. While some of my songs may seem outdated, they come straight from the heart. Perhaps people will appreciate them even a hundred years from now. p> In the illustrations by Jason Fowler, I've woven a story around Catherine, leaving the mystery open for the audience's interpretation. Who was the real Parisian Catherine of long ago? Carolyn and I continue to reside in Ft. Myers, where we've welcomed a new addition to our family: "Sassy," a loving cat we rescued from an animal shelter. She's quite the character, running the household and keeping her brother Ollie in check
