Song of the Day – ‘Satisfaction’
Most singers, professional or karoake, will cover songs that they like from singers they love. But a chosen few…they just completely MAKE a classic song their own take on it. Ladies and Gentlemen…Otis Redding. Enjoy!

Song of the Day – ‘Thrilla’
I’m starting this week in complete shock that I (felt like I had) 1001 things to get done this weekend,..and I got them all day. Maybe this life I’m building really has come together. So if it pleases the Court, we’re starting this week with more music. A cover to be precise. You don’t mind, […]
Song of the Day – ‘Get Up’
Today, I’d like to talk about the long term repercussions of reopening our diplomatic relations with Cuba. (assistant taps me on the shoulder. says maybe I should give the ‘big words a rest’ because…) Oh! It’s the Weekend! Well shi… Have a good one!
Song of the Day – ‘I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You’
For a variety of reasons, the past few years I’ve only been in two cities: Los Angeles and Kansas City. The ‘Reclaiming My Damn Life World Tour’ finally gets back on track in about a month or so. Even if it begins in a place I’ve been too often, I still haven’t made that four […]
Stability & Consistency
Returned to the director’s chair. Made a quality short that will find a new audience every holiday season (like the film its based on, ironically). Wrote my first original pilot. Wrote my first spec based on a TV show I love. Producer on another ‘legacy’ project that’s one of those ‘once in a lifetime’ things […]
Song of the Day – ‘What You Won’t Do For Love’
I could equal, but can’t do better than this to end Love Song Week. Enjoy!
Song of the Day – ‘Butterflies’
The story goes that when Mike was trying to return to pop relevancy he went to Prince for advice (who’s obviously nailed it). And Prince pretty much told him, ‘Forget the theatrics. Do smaller venues. Remind people that you’re a great vocalist.’ And Prince was right (as today’s song cosigns). But Mike was also probably […]
Song of the Day – ‘And I Love Her’
CNN is about to push out ‘The Seventies’; over the weekend I finally saw the British Invasion episode of ‘the Sixties’, and it was everything I wanted and more. Short version: BeatleMania hit, inspired in part by their covers of Isley Brothers and Barrett Strong’s hit songs; the Rolling Stones followed suit, letting James Brown […]
Song of the Day – ‘Overjoyed’
Over time, I’ve been building my castle of love Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason I’ve gone much too far for you now to say That I’ve got to throw my castle away Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true Though you never knew it was of […]
Song of the Day – ‘Sending My Love’
I always remembered this as a fantastic soul song. Rewatching the video for the first time in years (now as an educated film geek), my first thought was, ‘Now that is how you photograph a pair of beautiful black women with African features.’ Who directed this? And me when I got to the credits and […]
