Your First Weekend On The Rebound

Thanks to everyone who has purchased the download or CD of ON THE REBOUND. What a joyful noise. I really believe in this record. I want the world to hear it, and that starts with you!

In case you missed the announcement on Tuesday, you can get the record through...

iTunes
CDBaby
or contact me for an autographed hard copy!

It will be the best $10 you spend on music this year.

Here's some news:

if you haven't joined the Celebration at facebook, go now! Join the party and then invite your friends to check out ON THE REBOUND (OTR). Simple and fun. You can post your opinions about the album, you can show off your party dress and post a picture. It's a forum for you the fans, friends and family. One goal is to get enough exposure that when I pursue late night TV appearances the fan base for my music will be substantially larger than a month ago.

I'm getting a lot of internet radio play already. I can hardly keep up with it. Thank goodness my one man office, Jason is keeping up to speed with all of it. Cheers, Jason! Anyway, surf the web and you will land on a blogger/webradio station playing cuts from OTR.

Finally, ooooh.... You've learned the songs, now sing along! I have another show scheduled to support the LP. I will be playing at Cinema Bar on Thursday, Nov. 15. Details can be found on my website as well as facebook. Once again, the Inimitables (aka Evie, Kevin, Teresa & Adam) will be backing me on stage. There will be some musical surprises. Dress cute.

This album is amazing. I listen to it everyday. It is my proudest musical achievement and I'm so blessed to share it with you.

Until the next post!

Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins (Review)

I'm just in from the world premiere of Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins . WHRJ is the new comedy starring Martin Lawrence, directed by Malcolm Lee ( Roll Bounce ; Undercover Brother both underrated and well-worth your time) . It's the story of a Hollywood hotshot who takes his new fiancee and his son to his parents' 50 th wedding anniversary/family reunion. Mr. Lawrence as usual shows off his comedic genius. He has steadily become a sure bet in Hollywood. This time Lawrence is flanked by a cast of stars that at times threaten to steal the movie. Mike Epps (Reggie, a straight-up fool) and Mo'Nique (Betty) in particular shine in their roles as cousins to Lawrence's talk show king, RJ Stevens aka Roscoe Jenkins. The gift of gab runs deep in this family. Michael Clarke Duncan has never made me laugh so hard as Otis, Roscoe's unlikely little brother. Anytime the three of them were on screen the audience's laughter drowned out the dialogue. Watch for the softba...

Murderous Haircut of the Mayor of Bel Air - Book Review

“The Murderous Haircut of the Mayor of Bel Air” is a trippy new mystery novel from Phillip Mottaz. It captures the grit and gilt of the City of Angels with the flair of a contemporary Raymond Chandler. The brisk pace and wit are reminiscent of Douglas Adams’s entries in the detective game. Flourishes of Fletch and “Medium” also spring to mind. However, Mottaz has added a psychic/mutant/superhuman touch and his own comedic voice, structure and internal monologues to the proceedings that help the author announce his own style and the arrival of a literary heroine for a new generation. Hairstylist and budding private investigator, Danica Luman is the perfect character to convey the irony, angst and sarcasm needed to tell a 21st century L.A. crime story. Danica also represents anyone who thought it would be neat to get tangled up in a mystery and the darkly comic cautionary tale that follows. The genre is recognizable, but Mottaz offers a fresh take on the not-ready-for-prime-ti...

John Lennon 40 Years On

Remembering John Lennon today. Forty years have flashed by. I can still hear my clock radio turning on to the incongruent sound of the Beatles on Dec. 9, 1980 and wondering why? I think about John every day. I am fortunate to have been able to make pilgrimage to Mendips, Abbey Road and Strawberry Fields, NY; to play on stages like the Cavern, the Jacaranda and the Troubadour where he performed or made trouble, or both. Here’s a quick playlist for you and me. (Just Like) Starting Over I Should Have Known Better Bless You Nobody Told Me Strawberry Fields Forever Nowhere Man Enjoy the day. Fill it with peace. Fill it with music. #JohnLennon #Liverpool
