I used to direct, write songs and stories for Living Books, a Random House/Broderbund company (Sheila Rae the Brave, Maggie’s Farmyard Adventure),

and write music for Nickelodeon and Disney amusement parks.

I used to work in Japan, as singer-musician in a geisha nightclub,

and perform in Gamelan Sekar Jaya (Balinese gamelan),

and sing in Aswat (Arabic music ensemble),

and perform as a singer songwriter,

and in various, quirky bands.

I used to perform a musical theater piece I wrote, called Hostage, about being held hostage in Korea,

I used to and continue to study music from other countries: tango piano, Latin guitar, tabla, ting click, classical and jazz piano, etc.

I used to sing songs from Yes and No, an album I released.

Later, I took it down. I had changed but the songs didn’t change with me.

I’ve run out of breath.

sigh,

I, I , I , I, I…
