Inferno Some days I am a fire Roaring and sparking, all encompassing, Giving off heat and light, Visible to all. My passions are the fuel for my flame And the audience the oxygen. One or thousands, it doesn't matter, When both are put together, I am Unstoppable Marching and advancing, Devouring and consuming, With a... Continue Reading →
Korean Face Mask Kasualities and Go!
I was doing some cleaning in the condo, and came across a small plastic bag containing four Korean face masks.I sighed. It's amazing what memories, emotions and feelings can rush back when one sees the most innocuous items.

I do this when I'm stressed or have something that I need to get off of my chest.This little ditty I wrote from the Gershwin classic "Do Do Do", sung by Mel Torme. It's called... Continue Reading →
You’re Just in Love…Or NOT?
This I did to the tune of "You're Just In Love", by Irving Berlin, from the musical "Call Me Madam". It was TOUGH as it's a counterpoint song. Basically, according to wikipedia, a counterpoint song...."two equal and contrasting melodies running at the same time, both with independent lyrics". The first set of lyrics I wrote...
