Profile Information:

About me:: I'm a musician (piano & voice), composer, lyricist, writer, and poet, raised on jazz and good music, literature, and the arts. I also love animals, humor, gardening, organic chemistry, science, and things that are soulful, universal, and most of all, HIP.

Thanks to my hip parents, I was in the single digits when I first heard Stan Getz on that famous Jobim album that is probably ingrained in most of our psyches. My sax playing mom loved his tone and the way he played, and from the first note on, so have I.

Hey Amazing,

Great that you're here, too! Alan tells me you're taking up guitar building to prepare for an interview! Is it too early to send you blueprints for an original Selmer petite bouche? I could use a luthier-built Gypsy box.

Heading to Cape Cod for a couple of days of R'nR. Talk to you when we get back! Hi to Michael...

Love and hugs,
Bill

I can't wait to read your review on JB, by the way. And no monkey pictures. At least yet. I remember that, years ago., a baby wooley in an East Northport, Long Island pet shop that tried to steal my glasses (guess he dug the hornrims) and I would have brought him home if I could have afforded the $4,000 price tag!

Hey, how's your CD coming?

Electromacuted...I am going to steal that! Are you OK? I have CNN on in the background and they are talking about some pretty bad weather over a large part of TX. I might not see your message til mid-evening, but wanna know all is ok. I wish we were all the Jetsons so we could hop on some kind of fast, space-age vehicle to see those dear to us whenever we want - I'd be heading your way (after the storms, of course)!

Love,
Merlot

Marrrriiiiiiiiiiiissssa!

Greetings and love from the Big Apple. I just played tourist and took pics of Times Square from outside the hotel at 47th and 7th! Feels strange to play tourist when I spent so much time in NY, years past!

Mommaboppa Parris opens at Birdland tomorrow night, so we're gonna try 'n take it easy tomorrow, as she has to be at the club early for sound check, etc.

Howz the peoplz and animalz family at your place?

Love,
Merlot
