I recorded “Judy”
as part of a 5-song piano/vocal demo. A music paper in Chicago hated it. They called me the “Anti-Rock
and Roll.” The rock music world has always considered me too music theatre. The
Music theatre world has always considered me too pop. The pop world has always
considered me too jazz. I’ve never fit in anywhere. That’s not necessarily a
bad thing, but it does mean I have to work harder to find my niche and my
audience. That goes for my music, my art, and my writing.
Maybe my niche is
in none of those areas. I’m going back to school now, so maybe I’ll find a
whole territory to explore. Perhaps what I need more than anything else is a
life reboot. Stay open to possibility!

Words that I hear
I need to hear
them from you
Words I've heard
today
Tell me anyway
Why can't I
sleep?
The questions
won't keep any longer
Judy, Judy
Judy, you are the
light that makes me feel so warm
Judy, Judy
Words that I need
tonight
I know you'll
tell me in the morning
Wish you were
here
Another day
floats on by
I feel less
secure
In a love that's
matured
Consumed in the
fire of a passion much higher and stronger
Judy, Judy
Judy, you are the
light that makes me feel so warm
Judy, Judy
Thoughts I'm
thinking tonight don't always leave me by morning
Go away,
suspicion
Don't like to be
in this condition
I'd like to
believe your honesty, but it doesn't look promising
Judy, Judy
Judy, you are the
light that makes me feel so warm
Judy, Judy
Words that I need
tonight – still missing in the morning
