Saturday Night
Magic eyes
What About Us?
Put on your dancing shoes.
Two lost each other. One asks why?
What is …
We all need love.
I don’t like a lot of things.
On the fleeting passage of time.
Without answers.
It’s a fad street. A sad street.
It’s all glitz and jive.
give love
Shall We Dance?
What is
behind your eyes?
To give love is to get love.
Dance with me.
He was left behind.
We Are One
My hope for us all.
Inspired by Joe Walsh’s addiction fight.
How we can evolve in our next 100 years.
When memory fades…
How we got where we are.
I’m not Catholic. I’m not religious. This came from my heart. Goodbye to a good man.
Once More
the magic in you
To love and the Everly Brothers.
Missing friends and family, away or passed.
To Julie. For 26 years together.

Between the Lines - Lyrics & Rhymes

Rhymes are stories of people, places, ponderables.
Lyrics became songs, and often videos.

Sweet Dreams - A Memoir
My life has been sweet. I’ve lived many of my dreams. And a few nightmares.
I’ve had family, friends, fun, and failure. I’ve been lucky to play in the arts for a living, winning awards as writer, director, composer, and artist.
Writing fiction the last 20 years, it was time to pause the deception. Here’s the real stuff. Stories of people, places, and events from my fleeting trip through time.
Olivia Octopus
Written in rhyme, Olivia shows kids the amazing qualities of the octopus.
They think with nine brains, smell, taste, feel, and hold, with eight tentacles.
They walk, jet, change color and shape. They’re surprisingly intelligent.
And sensitive to humans. Olivia shows our link with all creatures.
And the importance of caring for our oceans. Inspired by the Academy Award Winning Documentary, “My Octopus Teacher.”
Bill the Bird Can’t Fly
For kids. Bill’s bill is too big, and his wings too small to fly. He feels inferior, until
a tragedy brings him to the aid of others. Bill lives by himself in his hollow tree.
One day a big storm comes to blow, crashing limbs and wreaking havoc. Bill comes
to the rescue with his big strong bill and saves a lovely little bird, the girl of his dreams. They live happily in his hollow tree with a covey of cute little birds of their own.
New Dad Handbook helps new dads navigate the mysteries of fatherhood. Dads get tips, tools and tricks for the ten stages in kids' lives, from newborn to 18+. It’s a quick How-To, about good humor, good habits, good talking and good listening. It’s a lot of work. And a lot of fun. Being a dad is the most awesome responsibility a man will face in his life. It is also his greatest joy.
The Line
Gold Award Winner for Children's Picture Books - Mom's Choice Awards
On a mission of silliness, The Line runs through time and space, drawing itself.
A silly dog. A hopping frog. Hats and cats. Kissing fish. A two, and a tu-tu too.
It pauses in its persistence, to ponder its existence, realizing that life is moving on.
And meant to be filled with adventure and love.
