Q: How do I when I've written a hit? A: When there's a Mazerati at the bottom of your swimming pool.
So says the music industry conference panel member to the aspiring songwriter.
What a fine time Dave Lang and I had on our B.C. tour! Lots of laughs. Lots of laughs.
Dave has excellent new songs with sensual, jazzy chords and darkly hilarious words. Listen to these songs, I implore you:

There were no nights that were not late, and we even filmed a pilot of a cooking show with Carolyn Mark in which songwriters and their friends party in the kitchen while Carolyn charms and sings and gets the sous chef (me) to chop the veggies.
I have a few new songs whose titles will make no sense to you unless you've heard them, but stay tuned for a summer acoustic recording that features such numbers as 'Bury the Needle', about driving fast in order to forget one's lack of prospects, 'Johann Heesters', about the world's oldest entertainer and former Third Reich favourite, and 'The British Rape Krakow', which is becoming a live favourite and needs to be recorded.
Bye for now.
