Album names, band names and other thoughts:
I hit some website one day, you know how you do...wind up somewhere kinda cool. Well it had a a
couple of links and said..."go here (link) and grab the 3rd image on this page (a site for free images
that came up with random images).
Then go here (they provided another link) and take the last sentence of the 3rd quote (some web
page with interesting quotes from famous people - again displayed randomly).
The goal was that you end up with your album cover picture and album title from a random source.
Thus we now have No Such Thing As Wrong Food. Brilliant!!!
I did manipulate the picture and obviously added the wording...but it is a pretty cool picture that I
stumbled upon.

Tech Talk:
Many of my early works utilized a M-Audio midi keyboard and Voyetra Turtle Beach software Record
Studio midi edition. Some of the work was done using Fruity Loops, and a small amount using
M-Audio software.
My current work is quite varied thanks to my trusty old Yamaha PSR-740 keyboard that holds over
700 voices -- plus living inside this electronic device is my buddy the built-in drummer.
New additions to the equipment list include a Roland SH-201 synthesizer (pictured below) and a
TASCAM US-144 Audio/MIDI/Interface allowing me direct input into the computer from both of my
keyboards, as well as microphones for vocals and live percussion. Future recordings will feature
guitars and bagpipes. Yes, my nephew plays the pipes...so I have to get him recorded. Stay tuned...
From the first album, Florida Days this
song is entitled Ocean Hymn. This is based
on the musical form of a round or canon.
Marina's Journey. This was written for a
beautiful lady from Ukraine.
The Full Storm: This piece came together
from old ideas and culminated in a work
that features bongos (not real bongos --
they are inside the keyboard but it was
fun and at least they sound like bongos).
