An original Christmas tune. A guy on Reddit asked me to sing this song he wrote. I like the tune and, despite being a huge fan of Christmas, sometimes we all feel a little like a Scrooge :)

For those…
Read moreCan You Forgive Her - Pet Shop Boys Cover
A great song in 12/8 time originally done by the genius techno band The Pet Shop Boys. Really, these guys are criminally underrated in my opinion. Check out their melodic and quirky album “Very.” Great song craftsmanship. Any of their…

Read moreTime After Time - Cyndi Lauper Cover (With Luis Ventura)
A long over-due collaboration with my friend Luis Ventura. He played the doctor in the musical Next to Normal at our local theatre. I’ve always liked this song. Cyndi Lauper’s performance was so melodramatic and so is the original music…
