Without A Song

Whether it was Sinatra, Bennett, Fitzgerald, Torm, Garland or today Bubl, the masters of song, even now, play out in my mind and in my head over and over again. With Sinatra it is the turn of a phrase, the understanding of a lyric, Bennett, a raw emotion, Fitzgerald, the dexterity, Torm the lyrical quality, and Garland, her passion and her tragedy. With Bubl it's the versatility and an appreciation of someone so young owning these songs. All of these individuals have created a kaleidoscope of influences and impressions that directly or indirectly have had an impact on me. They made it look so easy yet it is anything but easy. That seeming ease is part of their genius. They couple that with their own unique and distinctive style. That uniqueness is why we remember them. These are the artists that have helped mold my style and approach to my music. I hope you enjoy listening.
