good-bye 2011

December 31st, 2011

It’s the end of 2011 already, and I have nothing much to say. It’s been a good year; not too great, not too terrible. Although, we did say good-bye to our wonderful Cosmo cat on December 15th and that’s left a mighty huge emptiness around here. But that may be the subject of another, eventual post.

For now, thanks to everyone who’s stopped by here, listened, and/or offered their support! I really appreciate it and hope this new year will offer all of us the goodness we desire.

For what it’s worth, I started a project on January 1, 2011 where I planned to post once a day, usually a photo, but whatever might strike my fancy, as a way of helping me keep my eyes open throughout the year. There were a few days where I forgot to post (I see there are 354 posts so far – I haven’t posted yet today), so it’s not a complete daily diary but it’s pretty close. I’ll continue on with this project this year. If you’re interested, take a little visit to The Daily Knight and browse through my year!

See you in the future….

tricker treat

Here’s a fun and frightening little slideshow for The Little Red Ball’s adventure at the Asbury Park Zombie Walk last weekend. I had a zombie blast doing the music for it!

Have a safe and fun Halloween, and don’t forget to brush your teeth afterward!

Quebec City

Oy, another month goes quickly by. I’ve been very busy working on some other musical projects lately – most notably composing music for a murder mystery musical by the ultra-talented Joey Madia – and so I have neglected this space once again. I promise to get better.

In the meantime, there’s a song and a video up there that I made for the world-traveling Little Red Ball…I hope you enjoy it!

and what’s wrong with that?

Carry A Lamp

You think that people would have had enough of silly love songs. I’ve never particularly been a fan. I mean sure, they’re very nice and everything, but after a while it all sounds the same, and besides, there are plenty of other topics to explore that might offer something new to think about, eh? Meh, I’m a heartless old fool…but it wasn’t always this way.

Years ago, it seemed all I ever wrote were songs about love or, more often than not, unrequited love. Eventually, one grows weary of the usual cheerful clichés, or becomes tired of one’s own whining. And when I realized that the story of the songwriter whose girlfriend asked why he hadn’t written a song about her, and he replied “Because you haven’t left me yet,” hit so horrifyingly close to home, I vowed no more silly love songs. At least not of the standard kind, as much as I could help it, which was a lot.

So that’s why, my friends, you won’t find very many love songs on this site. But, I was recently reminded of an old one – writ some 25 years ago, no lie – and I decided to record it as there was a call for songs of this nature for a certain multimedia project I had happened upon. Naturally, I didn’t finish it up in time to submit it, in fact I’ve only just now finished recording and mixing it so it is quite very hot off the presses as they say, and I would like instead to wrap it in a bow, place it in your lap and watch your face as you open it. Maybe it will remind you of those early days when love can be frightening and uncertain, yet you know nothing in the world is better.

Carry on, then….

elvis is everywhere

A Little Like Elvis

A Little Like Elvis

If Elvis is everywhere, it stands to reason that he could be the dancing guest making a mess in your kitchen, or the burglar who does a little jig for your cats as he sneaks around pilfering your house…or even an angel of death come hovering and doing the Twist above your bed while beckoning you into the great hereafter. All things are possible, and it’s certain that it would be quite the joy to witness…even if it’s not the exact thing that you’d prefer. (more…)
