OLD MAN WALKING

Being an old man Rocks!  I'm so much hipper than when I was young. Since I retired I get to compose avant-garde electronic music, make videos, and do all kinds of exciting stuff.  All I have to do is walk four miles every day.  Four miles . . . . . Every day.

@perrybotkin used up my 500 below. twitter would NOT work for ME !!! I was serious about that walk with you - any chance to make it happen? Appreciate the message greatly, thx, Chuck

@perrybotkin so...you're an unknown legend. wish I could fix that. arrangers don't get enuff credit from the public. that's why Ray Conniff is my hero - took me nearly a year to figure out his fortepiano effect combined with his swing/jazz arranging created an unbeatable double-swing effect. I think your work on the pop stuff and especially with Hollyridge Strings was amazing ! ! ! In music circles you ARE a legend - you were certainly the go-to guy back in the day when somebody needed a hit ! !

Hey brilliant composer/arranger crazyman! When can I go for a walk with you? I'm a big fan of all the orchestral pop music you've left in your wake! chuck

dude, you ROCK. i was your fan when the young and the restless came out. i had to play it too. i was a kid then. before piano was considered by my peers to be a sissy instrument. so i picked up guitar, bass, other strings.. now i am 44. i am finding myself drawn back to piano and i am also finding myself with reason to get off my ass now and walk, hike, ride bike. and i watch this video and find i appreciate you even more now than as as kid. dude you ROCK. keep rockin.. err.. i mean walkin!
