he is entertaining you alone. This is a special talent,
that few entertainers possess. Mark and Leslie Laguna Niguel

"This
is the first studio album I have done in many years. The CD
is entitled 'Talk About Love' which is also the title
track and first single.
I am very excited about this collection of songs which were
written over the last few years and include a few songs dating
back to 1977. This album has a classic rock influence, but also
incorporates a contemporary sound.
This is truly a solo album. I performed lead and background
vocals,
acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums, keyboards and piano
in
a multi-track recording studio. I did not use any pre-programmed
audio samples, loops or drum machine patterns. It was recorded
live
in several takes layering or over-dubbing each instrument and
vocal.
I have always found songwriting to be the best way to express
myself
both emotionally and intellectually. I hope you will find this
album inspirational, thoughtful and uplifting."

This is the first studio album I have done in many years. I am very excited
about this collection of original songs which were written over the last few
years along with songs dating back to 1977 that I always wanted to record.
This is truly a solo album. I performed lead and background vocals,
acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums, keyboards and piano in
a multi-track recording studio. I did not use any pre-programmed
audio samples, loops or drum machine patterns. It was recorded live
in several takes layering or over-dubbing each instrument and vocal.
I have always found songwriting to be the best way to express myself
both emotionally and intellectually. I hope you will find this
album inspirational, thoughtful and uplifting.
This album is dedicated to my wife, Karyn, who is the inspiration
for the title song ‘Talk About Love’ and as the song says,
I am glad I took the time to look because true love can be found
