“I’m excited to announce that I am releasing a new collection of music called The Ghost of Jim Crow. Each song from this collection will be released individually with release date updates".
The first song from this collection is called Why Must It Be So featuring Tony Levin (Bass), Tony Smith (Drums) and Debbie Lan (Vocals) and myself on Keyboards, Guitar and Vocals.
It speaks about issues in our society that a lot of people are dealing with. If you listen carefully and watch closely, you may find that you are one of those people.
