Real Love Goes Live

Well, after 18 years of designing my own arrangement of the John Lennon song, Real Love, I finally licensed it for release. The song will be available on the iTunes store, CD Baby, and many other stores for digital download. It should be available by the time you read this.

I'm very excited about the whole affair. I've been working on other people's music for release my entire career. Although I've been writing my own music for decades, I never really had the time to put into finishing my own stuff, and to pay it proper attention.

The Beatles, and John Lennon in particular, were easily the most powerful influence on my musical tastes and, ultimately, on my own compositional style. I love fatty, cheesy, original, ear-candy sounds, and I use as much cheese in my music as possible. I was a kid while the Beatles were still together. I grew up in the late sixties and the early seventies, while Bubblegum music, like the Archies and The Jackson Five were king. I whole-heartedly believe that the world can be saved through pop music. Music is a great part of what defines us as people, and, therefore, if there is more happy, candy-coated music out there, the world will automatically be a sweeter place for us all to live.

I am also assembling an EP of love songs that I've written over the years. I'm hustling to get it out before Valentine's Day this year. I'll keep you posted.
