Why this album? Good question.

"The Forgotten Songs" are songs from my past songwriting "trunk" that mostly never have seen the light of day. Most of them were written in the '70s and '80s.

A few songs HAVE been released in the past, but I spiffed them up here with new arrangements and with new vocals.

None of the songs were written with A.I. - all were written with human brains, the hard way. The musical accompaniment, arrangements and vocals, however, were totally created using the new digital technology.

Thanks to this new technology, these old songs of mine were rescued from my past archive, and this album would have never happened without it.

I'm glad to have this album out, and to let everyone hear the songs that have been somewhat forgotten by me, or had been only partially finished. This project allowed me to record new versions of old songs that I only had rough demos of, and in some cases the project gave me a chance to finally complete the lyrics to a few songs here.
