A real personal album following a breakup in life change at the age of 55. The front cover photograph, I took of my daughter when she was three, was the inspiration for the recording of the album. The song broken, while a pleasant hooky pop song, it's an inside look at a dying relationship as well as hope. A very infectious album full of hooks, hope and smile smiles

New album and Single

8.20.25

So, I've been really busy over the last 2 years, and especially this summer recording songs for a self-titled album titled "JAMES".

The photo of my daughter in a field years ago will be the album cover. I was so inspired by the photo that the new album began to take shape.

During the winter of 2025, I worked on getting my complete catalog out on Vinyl and CD. Which are now offered here on my site.

2025 in terms of technology, since my last album "The Record Button" recorded in 2020 has jumped leaps and bounds. With this advance in technologies, I've been able to shape the songs to a new more commercial sound.

JAMES is an album that is dedicated to the compositions more than the artist. I believe it is some of my best work since "Pop Chronicles". I have come to believe that I'm a songwriter first and it's the songs that are important, being an artist is just for fun.

The first single off the album is titled "Broken", a song written coming from pain and rebirth of a long-term relationship of 8 years. The single is now available where you get your digital music. 

New recording October 14, 2024

I’ve Just Seen Face

The first song I ever learned how to play when I was 12 years old , “ I’ve Just Seen a Face”  from  The Beatles Rubber Soul album. I thought recording this song,  just to try out  and learn some new recording equipment and get used to it. This version falls more of the arrangement of the Wings Over America  version in 1976.
