September is always a memorable time of year for me.  It signals the onset of fall, leaves turning, kids going back to school.  On a personal note, its the month i got married.

but it also conjures up the most disturbing of imagery as September 11 approaches.  This year marks the 25th anniversary of the attacks on 9/1/2001.  25 years, man that's long enough that i now run into young folks that weren't even born yet. to them its like when I was a kid reading about Pearl Harbor, just another chapter in their…

Good Morning,

    Just a quick thank you to all who have commented on my CD.  Thank you so much!

Hello Everyone,

       I'm very happy to announce that my new should be available on June 18th.  It's been a great experience working on this project.  I think you all will enjoy hearing what I've created.  A majority of the songs deal with my own experiences, the good and the bad.  18 songs that tell my story.  I hope will you check back and give it a listen

Thank you for your support!

Just a sincere note of gratitude to the Millions who showed great support for my City of Boston during this hectic and tragic week.  Again, amaziing work done by the FBI, ATF and all the local police and officials

Thank you

My heart is saddened by what should have been a great occasion, marred by tragedy and violence as two bombs were detonated in the area of the Finish Line of the Boston Marathon.

My nephew's new fiance was with her friend near the finish line at the time of the explosions, but luckily escaped without injury.   

My thoughts to the families of the 3 people who lost their lives, and to the near 200 that were severely injured by the blasts.

GM          - Well, my first thought is the title, how did you come up with that?

Shakkar    - It came from the title of a song my nephew and I wrote together.

GM          - That must have been fun.  

Shakkar    - Indeed.  Jared was either 15 or 18, (laughing...).  He is a great guitar player.  he
