These recordings represent the various musical endeavors that I've gone through since the 1970's to present day. Some are good quality and some not so great but are from old cassette recordings that i converted to mp3 and mp4 format to at least preserve them (for who i'm not sure)....anyway, at the heart of the matter, these are just honest recordings, my story is in a bit of each recording here. Thanks for taking the time to listen.

Story behind the song
Stopped in Brentwood on the anniversary of marilyn monroes death and went to her little house off sunset blvd where she was living when she died. There was a lonely girl hanging around the gate of her front yard and she told us she honestly felt like she was marilyn reincarnated and she drove all the way from washington state to knock on her door. Her hands trembled when she spoke about marilyn and i ended up writing a song about her when i got back home.
Lyrics
Standing outside Marilyns gate, Katy stood alone....she knew she couldn't go in and she couldn't stay but it felt like home....she said she didn't know why but she just had to try to knock on marilyns gate and with trembling hands she waited outside.....
