From CHIC to Madonna to Musicals

April 6, 2012


Playing a song today in my kitchen from a new musical I'm composing

Since being attacked by cancer around a year and a half ago, I've tried to live life to the fullest. Part of living what I'd call a full life is giving back. I wouldn't be where I am if people hadn't given so much to me.

I've had many great teachers along life's road and I cherish those lessons. When I compose or produce, I open a vast bag of tricks that live deep within my brain.

At 7 p.m. on April 10, at NYU's Frederick Loewe Theatre, I'll do a Songwriter's Hall of Fame Master Sessions event. I'm going to share some techniques I've used over the years and even play some of my new work. It's open to the public and it's FREE! I'll cover everything From CHIC to Madonna to Musicals.
