Larry’s new release
I wrote this song last January to pitch to Larry, and a year and a later, it’s a hit! (Doesn’t often happen this way)

It’s here. Brand new! My new album has been untethered. Official release date is April 1, but copies are here and ready to ship to you. It’s called A TASTE OF ASHES. I have been hunkered down in my studio, writing and recording pretty much nonstop. Here's a taste:

Songwriters - Bob Dylan never recorded a song with a “bridge” (or middle 8) until his 6th album. Then he broke the #1 rule by beginning the bridge with the same chord the verse begins with. BTW it’s a great song! To bridge or not to bridge.
