I'm a product of that era. And so is my album. All the above named plus bands like Kansas, Jethro Tull, Emerson, Lake, & Palmer, Loggins & Messina, Dan Fogelberg, Yes, Deep Purple, Chicago (known back then as Chicago Transit Authority - remember?), Cream, Jimmie Spheeris, Eric Clapton, Journey, and countless others all had an influence on me. If you made up a recipe for original music and threw in varying amounts of all these band ingredients - I'm one of the possible results. A dish that might just make your mouth water with anticipation. After having been told that this music sounds so retro,I realized there's no escaping the facts. I AM a flesh and blood representation of the 70s. So what could I do? Go with the flow, of course. In The Moment is what I now refer to as my Baby Boomer Rock album...and it's about all the people who mean the most - family and friends. Of course, one of my greatest influences also crept directly into the music-fellow Baby Boomer James Taylor makes a virtual appearance in He's Old Like Me. But my style is still my own. It's thinking man's music. Do you like that "warm and fuzzy" feeling when you curl up on the couch to just chill out and listen to some tunes? I do. Do you like a little more substance in your music? Me too. Curious what Baby Boomer Rock is? Then you owe it to yourself to give it a listen. Baby Boomer Rock? That I will leave up to you to decide. Maybe you've got a better name for it. I'm always open to suggestions! Drop me a line!
I sincerely hope that you will enjoy this album as much as I enjoyed making it. It truly was a labor of love.
