The Henry Portraits
#1 Henry Awakens (2000) Henry Awakens (2000) This was the first of "The Henry Portraits." This was a practice drawing. I was learning how to do shading and drawing basic shapes. When I finished it, it wasn't so exciting, but it had its charm. So, I digitized it and it became electric.

Dementia is no Laughing Matter... Or is it?
Welcome to my wacky world… Dementia is a very serious illness. It's not something to be taken lightly. Being the 24/7 caregiver of someone with dementia is a tough job all the way around. But it does have it's humorous side.

My Journey with Prostate Cancer. Top Story - June 2023.
What is the Prostate's Function This writing is of a personal yet important nature. One of the smallest yet important parts of a man's body is called the prostate.

Ten Essential Steely Dan Deep Cuts
I have been a Steely Dan fan for 45 years and have each studio album permanently etched into the reccesses of my subconscious mind. I did more than just listen to the albums. I studied them and I memorized the placement of each instrument and vocal. I dug deep into the musical and vocal arrangements. The technical side of Steely Dan's albums is amazing. Gary Katz produced the entire lot of albums from Steely Dan's classic period of 1972 to 1980 and Roger Nichols engineered every one of Steely Dan's albums right down to 2003's Everything Must Go. Nichols had a reputation for creating an impeccable sound quality. He paid close attention to every detail of every instrument and vocal that was placed in front of him. His finesse in the studio was responsible for turning a great band into a phenomenal band. Nichols was best known for working with Steely Dan and John Denver. But he also worked with countless other musicians.
