I enjoy writing catchy pop songs and arranging them.

The new order

Goodbye to democracy, to decency, to freedom, to the rights of the disadvantaged, the rights of workers, of seniors, of women, of those who get bullied, and of those who are considered to be "weaker" or "lesser."
When I was in my teens the civil rights and feminist movements were gaining momentum and I thought we would be an incredible and enlightened nation by the time I reached my 50s. I never, ever thought it would come to the betrayal and disillusionment as this.

Love the videos! Especially Ride the Wave. So much beautiful music I remember from so many decades ago. So glad to see you continuing to write, play, and produce videos for your music. Keep them coming! ?"?️

Thank you, Brenda! I see you've picked up the guitar. I still play like a novice and sing even worse. I just use the guitar to compose songs then I use Band in a Box (courtesy of Art Corey who is also on BJ) to arrange the songs. Then I go to FiveRR for vocalists. Finally, I mix and master the tracks. Lora and I live in Yucaipa now, southeast of San Bernardino on Interstate 10. Now that you've picked up guitar, are you discovering some interesting chords and thinking up tunes? Yep, more videos coming. Three in the works: "Stay Here Now," "Equal!," and "Raindrop Soul." Broadjam has been a fun place, especially during the pandemic years when there was nowhere else to go.

You're definitely not a novice guitarist- you have played for so long and so well, and written such beautiful songs. I'm really enjoying learning to play, but I'm not the most coordinated person so it's slow progress, but I really enjoy it. I'm looking forward to seeing the next videos (is that your artwork in the animation of them? It looks like your style.). Anyway, great hearing from you and seeing/hearing some of your latest creations. The portrait you did for me in the '80's still hangs proudly in my home.

Thank you very much, buddy! We got our shopping and return package done. Now I can get back to this. I'm really happy with the video. I've got it up on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter. If only people would pay attention and view it! I'm not a marketer and 90 percent of marketers are Bozos anyway.
