you should be dancing

These have got to be the weirdest toys Ive ever seen. My daughter seems to be impressed; I'm just weirded out.

eggs and an orange worm for dinner

she made me eggs and an orange worm for dinner

i began to eat so quickly that i almost forgot to taste it

but about 3 seconds after i began stuffing my face

i realized i was eating eggs and an orange worm for dinner

then i suddenly stopped

and savored every bit of this plate

and was grateful for the food on my table and her bright smile

it took away my hunger

and it took away the extra 40 lbs the doctor said were just too much

at last! i have witnessed my very own last supper

Happy Face

She drew this for me. She said " Its a happy face Daddy". I thought I knew love before her. I was mistaken.

Morning Song

Wrote this song a while back inspired by my daughter. I have decided that its not doing anyone any good if its just sitting in my vault of unfinished/unreleased songs. So today I'm learning to let go and to not be a Grinch. Enjoy! I hope.

The Forgotten Snowman

Almost forgot about this one. Dakota and I made a snowman last week. The snow had come down heavy on our Brooklyn streets the night before.

We could hardly sleep with excitement of making our snow man with winters first snow.

DAKOTA SAVES MR. CRICKET

A cricket made its way into our apartment the other day and serenaded us as we slept. The following evening I returned home from work and spotted the cricket hanging around on our curtain. Dakota is amazed by the creature who has decided to make our apartment his new home but she then decides to save him and bring him back to his natural habitat.
Here's the video of our excursion to save Mr. Cricket.

Its 12: 44 am and...

Dakota is still not asleep. I'm not sure whats going on with her. She seems to get more and more energy by the minute. My eyes hurt.
Someone in France wrote about my music on some music blog. How strange huh ?. I'm not sure how this happens but I'm just baffled at how someone so far away found my tunes and actually enjoyed them.
What a day! I must be dreaming. Maybe Dakota is really fast asleep.
Not sure though.

Dakota In Concert Take 2

Do you guys remember last month when I tried filming one of Dakotas performances and her guitar strings popped? Well, her grandma got her a fancy cherry red sunburst acoustic guitar for Christmas so she has been playing that a lot around the house quite a bit. I made a little guitar strap for her so she could carry it around easily. Shes been having some fun playing her songs. Hope you enjoy the videos.

My Daughter Wants to be Buddy Holly

Here she is trying to be just like the Buddy himself. Why doesnt she want to be like me? I mean aren't I cooler than Buddy? I can play most of his songs, doesnt that count? Ive gotta admit the look suits her well. She has been fascinating me lately with her cuteness. Shes been playing guitar, playing the piano, counting in songs, and playing some percussion. Shes been trying everything and anything. Today she even tried some of her mommies perfume. Thank God she didnt enjoy the taste. What a scare. I almost had a myocardial infarction. What a girl!

Dakota experiences technical difficulties before live concert

My baby girl Dakota loves to play songs on her baby piano and 99 cent store guitar. I was ready with camera and all to record her performance when one of her guitar strings snapped. What a
bummer! It is so hard to record her doing anything, but ill try again some other time. For now enjoy the video of the mishap.
