Tom Jones the Musical Demo Sessions Last week the other week I wrote about the amazing recording sessions we had in NYC for my new musical Tom Jones the Musical. This is the first post about the incredible LA recording session. The One I think "The One" is the second song I wrote for Tom Jones. (The first being "Harlot Jenny Jones"). It's the third song of the show, when we first meet our lovers - Tom Jones and Sophie Western. [...]
Tom Jones the Musical Demo Recordings I've been chronicling about the recent demo recording sessions I did in NYC for my new musical Tom Jones the Musical. I worked with fantastic singers and am really happy with the results. Say Goodbye to Tom Jones "Say Goodbye to Tom Jones" happens late in the second act. Both Squire Western and the priggish Blifil want to get Tom Jones out of the way so Blifil can marry Squire Western's daughter, Sophie. Blifil [...]

I Wanna Go Home The song "I Wanna Go [...]

They all said yes. I [...]
Florida Rep New Play Festival My new play "Love, the Cracksman" had a fantastic reading at Florida Rep Theatre's New Plays Festival in Fort Myers, FL. The Cast The funny boys. Lovers. Me at the talkback. Me and the director, Stefan Novinski. This was the first public reading and it couldn't have gone better. I was happy and relieved to hear wave after wave of laughter throughout the show. The reading was directed by my good friend Stefan [...]

Religion, free press, human rights, the environment and many other people and issues [...]
