What's up with George? Featured Music: "Superstar"

Working, writing, trying to grow as an artist and as a man. The quest never ends.

And the hits just keep on coming! Crosby Stills and Nash at Jones Beach were everything a grear Rock band should be. It's great to see guys like that still loving what they do and not resting on their laurels. Best of all they're still committed to that radical idea of PEACE! Young bands take note...

Another amazing weekend! Terri and I had a wonderful day in the City seeing a matinee of "A Little Night Music" and Bernadette Peters was just superb. Then we high-taimed it to Damrosch Park at Lincoln Center where our longtime friend Leo Traversa performed a special program of "La Reza Latina," which was the Latin Music event of the year. To see Leo performing at Lincoln Center was to me like seeing a kid you used to play sandlot ball with plaing in the big leagues at Yankee Stadium. I was so proud of him!

Then Sunday Rockslide played a matinee gig at the Dockside Inn. My Mom came to my gig for the first time in fifteen years and she brought her friends in Morocco.

Rock on! GG
