Written by James Shelton in the late 1950's, "Lilac Wine" was rekindled to international acclaim by the late singer-songwriter and guitarist Jeff Buckley in the early 1990's. This recording - performed barebones, with me on the mic accompanied by my lovely telecaster - is my homage to Mr Buckley. Mastered by Lou Brown and debuted on 02-14-24.

Hope you enjoy it, including this mash-up video clip of mine with photographer/videographer, Phil Pasag.
Lux Aeterna: In Memoriam CoVid-19 Victims
Above is a video of my Lux Aeterna: In Memoriam CoVid-19 Victims (for a cappella choir), as premiered on YouTube on the N.O.W. Music & Arts Salon 2 on Thursday, July 23, 2020; performed by the OctoQuines ensemble (eight of me that is - yikes!). Completed mid-May of 2020, I composed this piece with the hope of pacifying the aches and pains that WE were undergoing amidst the pandemic, globally; that this musical offering might bring some semblance of hope and peace to those suffering and those who had lost their loved ones.

"Princess Nicotine" is a short comedy film in public domain made and produced by J. Stuart Blackton and Albert S. Smith in 1909. It is one of the first to cleverly incorporate camera tricks on film! Music includes a re-imagination of "Creep" (originally written and recorded by Radiohead and arranged/orchestrated for string orchestra by composer Raul Salamanca Quines). As well, included is an excerpt from "Back on Mars" (a tribute-piece to David Bowie) for string orchestra, also by Raul Salamanca Quines.
