You Can't Get There from Here in Jersey - my signature song. Humor about driving in New Jersey. Aired on NPR and included in Asbury Park Press' 10 Best Songs by NJ Artists in 2022. Captured on Sep 27, 2025 at Arts Council of Princeton, NJ youtube.com/shorts/LeUIZ...

Teachers, parents, and everyone who cares about learning and education needs to get out to vote for Mikie on Nov 4th! #voteblue #NJ

Tomorrow (Sat 9/27) I make my Princeton, NJ debut. I'm in good company as you can see in this lineup of musicians and poets providing homegrown original creativity.

The soundbite of @repsherrill “arm and a leg” in the Ciatarelli ad is dishonest editing at its worst. She makes the opposite point in that interview, discussing prior ineffective messaging by other Democrats. Don’t fall for the okey-doke. Vote Sherrill.

Yesterday I was speaking lyric ideas into the Voice Memos app in the car. Last night I made a video singing the new song. Today (Bruce Springsteen's birthday & Rosh Hashanah) I uploaded it. It's been reviewed by north Jersey's foremost Springsteen expert, Jay Lustig at @njartsnews.bsky.social

Trump is about to fire a U.S. attorney because he couldn’t fabricate charges against Letitia James. Pure corruption. Are Republicans fine with this?

Good times filling out a massive patient portal profile over the last couple of days. Here's our song griping about it. #PatientPortal youtu.be/_hkHRjS5ZHU?...

On this 24th anniversary of the attacks of 9.11.01, we're feeling the added pain of a more divided country. There are policy differences to debate, but we must stop treating fellow Americans as "the enemy within." Our currency reads "e pluribus unum" - out of many, one. youtu.be/9igk-ABsIG8?...

As a lifelong liberal, I'm as appalled w the assassination of Charlie Kirk as I have been over every other public figure silenced by political violence. May his memory be a blessing to his loved ones. May we finally learn to settle our differences w our words & our votes. Never again with guns.
