Music
Sample Songs: (the links may take a while to load)
Alternatives: What to do, where to go, at critical crossroads in one’s life
One Life at a Time: This was written based upon images, feelings and experiences I had in walking from the US Capital back to my hotel during a business trip to DC (as part of a NSF conference – little did I know that I’d be back for good one day)
Simple Games: Human nature – avoid conflict, make mistakes
Until Tonight: Break-up of a relationship
Little Leah: I wrote this for my daughter (on her 4th birthday) and finally finished it for her Bat Mitzvah on 5/9/09. The singer is Michele Viani (Rusty Pipes, RPI - BSEE 2009), who was kind enough to sing this for me (without any practice). Someday I hope to actually arrange and produce the song...
Two Sides of Life: Originally meant as an opening piece for a musical show, maybe someday...
Hello: Meeting someone for the first time
Reflections: Written after a loss (not finished or produced)
