Biography

Hi and thanks for stopping by, I am orginally from Brooklyn, NY, I was influenced in my early years 4-5-6- yrs old when I heard the groups of Brooklyn doing harmonies in the sub-way stations, I remember being across the street one day, and I heard these "sweet voices" that funneled up from the sub-way station, I literally walked across the street and stood there and listened, one song after another, I was hooked !!!

For me it usually starts with the music that provoks feelings that are soon turned into words which brings on the voice. I have tried to work in different ways, but then it is forced and that should never be.

I would always be attracted to those who I thought could really sing, I call Them" "The singers" "SINGER" !

SOME OF MY FAVORITES: Frankie Valli, Stevie Wonder, Roy Orbison, Frank Sinatra, Bobby Caldwell, Steve Perry, Brian McNight, I have been influenced by the Beatles, Led Zepplin, Billy Joel, Sting. Thanks for stopping , and also ck out our site with Sabadi and Powers where Gabe and I have been colabaratiing on some new songs of ours and Gabriel Sabadi. Thanks, and Take Care Gary P.

Hey Gary, I love your music, your vocals and guitar work are top class, and every one of your songs I've listened to is quite catchy. I'm definitely going to have Self-Centered man stuck in my head for a while now =] Hopefully I'll catch you again next Saturday at Redmond. Keep the great music coming!

Hay Gary. Thanks so much for your kind reviews. It means really a lot to me. I really like cold new york night. Really nice feel to it! I really like the effect of the backing vocals for the chorus. Nice-n-dark. Greatly put together. Sit with a glass of wine is another fave of mine. Nice sound-scape!
