Summer of singles!
No, this is not some fabulous beachside get-together for the unattached! But it's arguably something BETTER! It's all about the recordings I've been putting out since right about Memorial Day weekend, and will continue doing for the rest of the summer and beyond! The latest one is THERE'S A VOICE, and it consists of all five released versions of what I call my social conscience anthem!

Lyric of the Week: TOWN’S COMING BACK
The embers are glowing inside the ashes The new growth is sprouting through the parched earth The flowers are blooming behind the bushes When this jewel is polished we’ll see its real worth People are coming to watch the sparks fly There’s an electric excitement in the air The new faces stare in wonder as they pass by We just tell ‘em we always knew it was there.

Shoreworld: The Hesh Inc. Soul In Exile 3: Love Runs Aground
Note: This article has been amended to correct an editorial error regarding the name of the rhythm guitarist. Hesh has been around for many years. When it comes to original music in New Jersey, I can remember as far back as the early ’90s seeing him perform in bars with piano and voice to many approving fans. When you talk to him about his past, his simple answer pretty much tells the story of yet another New Jersey original that not only made an impression but did so as he m
