I have written an operetta / a musical called "Paper Gun", and if I can speak for us all, our goal in life is to travel from some form of disillusionment to some form of authenticity that we can call our own - and I noticed that thread across my songs. We all have to go through that journey at some point in our lives otherwise we're just going through the motions.

I've been introducing these songs of pain and love and reconciliation from my operetta (some of which you can see in the playlist "Live in the Making" on the Paper Gun page) in churches, synagogues, community centers, and senior facilities – I am now touring my operetta blend show; where the theme demands it, I supplement the original material with chosen cover songs by Bob Dylan, Frank Sinatra, Neil Diamond & Billy Joel — songs that illuminate the same terrain from a different angle. The theatrical handling of these artists has been my core performing strength, honed across years of The Song Is The Play. This means there will always be an element of surprise — the show breathes differently each time, with relevance and depth.
