It took thirty years to complete my first album. Well, it started out as an album and somewhere in the late 80's it became a CD. If I'd taken any longer it might have been iPod only. Here's what happened: I wrote and played music through college but lacked the courage to keep going. I was broke and played it safe even though I had nothing to lose. I started in record stores back when 8-tracks were hot. I also worked as a stage hand and booked college shows. I landed a job in London working for HMV, a division of EMI Music. For ten years I traveled the world doing marketing, strategy, real estate, and store design. When EMI sold HMV in 1998, I cashed in my contract to pursue a life of writing and music.
