Letters To Daddy Performance Alert

Letters To Daddy: A MusicalIt’s been quietly peculating in the background. I haven’t mentioned it in a while but it’s been there the whole time…quietly building.

  • 2 years ago, Bill Rodman asked me to write a song for his 11 year old God Daughter Rilee O’Neill.
  • 1 song turned into 12 songs.
  • Then an entire choir of Ugandan teens came and added their voices to several of the tunes.
  • The songs began to link together and support a story.

The first two productions of the musical are premiering in two different locations on the same weekend!

Urgent Concert Announcment

Hey Everybody,

I know it's a bit last minute but HAY! Spontaneity is the spice of life.

Just got word that I'll be performing tomorrow, Saturday, January 24, 2009 at my favorite Starbucks in downtown New Haven, CT. It's the Starbucks on the corner of High St and Chapel across from the Yale Museum of British Art and the Yale Art Gallery.

I start my first set at 8 PM and I would love to see any and all of you who are in the New Haven area!

Here's a couple of clips from my last gig...

Clear the Fear Song

But before you click "Play", check this out: To celebrate vanquishing stage fright and performing anxiety through the application of NLP, I'll be celebrating by performing my first concert in 2 years on Sunday November 23rd at the Space in Hamden.

Also! For the first Time ever I'll be making some of my Paintings available to be seen and purchased at Sunday's concert. Whatever doesn't sell will be uploaded here to my site so even those of you who live on the other side of the world can get access to them. The short version of the story is: At one point performing was so painful for me that I just gave up and started painting acrylic abstract canvases. There's a much longer story to tell but I'll share it on Sunday at the concert or in a future post.

Here's the video:

Let me know what you think

Commentary: This song literally contains the NLP Anxiety treatment process that I use with clients from all over the world to help them stop worry, anxiety, phobias and panic attacks. I used the same techniques to clear my own anxiety and self sabotage around getting my music out of my living room and into the ears of other people. The fact that in the last 3 weeks people  from 49 countries have visited this site and experienced my songs is literally proof that NLP works. Watch the video and enjoy the images.
