It was great fun to play for my old student Amy Marik at The West End at 11:30 pm.  Songs she played included Piece of My Heart, Maybe I Like It This Way (from the Wild Party), Ruination (from We Foxes, by Ryan Scott Oliver), Soon (from Thumbelina), I Hate Men (from Kiss Me Kate), Comic World, Wonderful (from Olympus on My Mind), You Don’t Know, I’m Not Pregnant, I’m Just Fat (from RRRED, by Katie Thompson), I’ll Be Here (from Ordinary Days, by Adam Gwon), Twisted (by Ross N. Gray).  Click here  for more info about The West End Lounge.
It was great seeing this Wednesday’s Child (from 2011) mentioned on NBC today!

It was wonderful to have my parents at the 4-12-14 concert at the Church. Irene Jay and I added a Mack and Mabel segment to these two concerts. Two nice concerts!
Today was unexpectedly Kat Davis last sharing at the Neighborhood Playhouse Junior School. Kat is a wonderful friend, director, colleague and educator.  She is very supportive of me as a musician and a teacher.  Under her leadership over the past fourteen years, I was able to create many holiday mashups, focus group presentations, explore current pop songs and musical theatre standards.  Students who came to the playhouse that did not want to or like to or refuse to sing are now requesting voice lessons.  Many parents have commented on my site and in person on how much their child has learned at the playhouse.
Thank you Kat from the bottom of my heart!!!
