Some Liner Notes From Kush

2010 was a very productive year in my musical journey as I wrote 398 tunes, (more than one a day) spurred on by a series of cosmic, equally important events. First and foremost was the collaboration with my old friend Dr. Henry Karlin. Way back in the 1960’s,  we wrote songs together for the infamous band “Tar & Feather”.  40 years later, the muse struck and we created hundreds of new tunes. Second, I started working with Tony Coluccio of Global Media Music who tutored me on the art of going digital. Finally, and equally important was the transition of going from an analog musical world of playing the piano to going digital with the help of Apple’s Garageband, a music software program with 'virtual instruments'.   Thus, “Electric Kush”.

We’d like to thank Tony Coluccio of Global Media Music for production, nuance and support and Anthony Mirabella,percussionist on Soul of Vocal Processing, Geetar and 5 Things I Want. http://www.globalmediamusic.com
