Seize the Day                                                           Petula Clark

In 1999, while on tour with Petula Clark on Sunset Boulevard, I wrote this song for Petula to sing with our cast as a fundraiser for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. We sold 2000 copies and raised a good deal of money for a very worthy cause.

Let's Read a Story                                Theme from the TV show

Between 1987 and 1990, I was fortunate to participate in a weekly local children's television show on KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh, called "Let's Read a Story". Here's the theme from the show, which I wrote. (If you listen closely, you can hear me singing backup vocals as well.) Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the lead singer-- she was recruited by the TV station. You can also view video of the opening to the show, which features cast members Maggie Stewart, Mark Thompson, and Kate Young, in addition to yours truly in my younger days! Not only did I write and perform most of the music for the show, I also appeared regularly on camera. I used to refer to myself as the Paul Shaffer of the toddler set.

Let's Read a Story Theme                      Pittsburgh Symphony

While we're on the subject of "Let's Read a Story", here's a version of the theme that I arranged and orchestrated for an appearance our cast made at a "Tiny Tots" concert with the Pittsburgh Symphony in 1990. It's a live recording with lots of screaming toddlers who obviously were not appreciating my wonderful polyphony. It's still one of the highlights of my career, hearing a world-class orchestra play my orchestration of my original material. Conducted by Andreas Delfs.
