Dear Uncle Sam,
The count and I could not be more excited about the latest project to come our way.
Kelsey Adams, the singing prodigee of Cebu, Philippines, and darling of the “Little Big Star” talent contest of Filipino TV, is preparing the release of her first full length album, written and produced by the Count and I.
Also, on March 10, she will perform a concert at Waterfront Hotel, Cebu, in which Jaye and I will make a brief appearance. This young girl has the kind of innate musical talent that only blesses the very few, and for Jaye and me, hearing our songs come to life in her voice has been a rare treat.
Kelsey needs little coaching- in the above photo I’m pretending I know something she doesn’t.
Stay tuned to www.kelseyadams.net to watch her career blossom.

I have a good feeling about 2009.
This installment of “A Song I Wish I’d Written” seems quite appropriate as we face a new year. It’s by one of the most underrated British bands of the 1960’s, the Zombies, on their 1968 masterpiece, the curiously mispelled “Odessey and Oracle”. (Recorded, I must add, at Abbey Road by Muller and Patton’s friend and collaborator Nick Webb).
The song was written by Rod Argent and Chris White, the band’s killer songwriting duo, lead by Argent’s soulful piano, and sung by the honey voice of Colin Blunstone.
“This will be our year / took a long time to come.”
I feel a bit that way about 2009.
Incidentally, here is a little teaser from my recent concert, which will be released on a DVD some time this year, along with the rambunctious show I did in Cebu, Philippines this past November. It’s called “The Encore Song”.
(This is not the mixed audio, excuse it’s crudeness).
