I have always been an enormous fan of music, and in particular, the romantic music of the 1960s. Some of my very favorite musicians were Little Anthony, of Little Anthony and the Imperials (“Hurt So Bad,” “Two People in the World,” “Tears on My Pillow;”) and Larry Chance of Larry Chance and the Earls (“I Believe.”). Check out their songs by going to their spotify pages. Fantastic. I’ve been fortunate to get to know and love Little Anthony. He’s a fantastic man.

After writing the rough versions of my first seven or eight songs, I approached my old friend, Ashley Degenford, and her father, Steve. Steve agreed to improve my music while Ashley sang the songs. I later took their versions to other musicians and singers who improved them further. Shown below are Leilani Dowding, Melanie Poblete, Ashley Degenford, and her father, Steven.
