I’d been looking for the recording of Steve Winwood singing “Nobody Loves You When You’re Down And Out” for a long time. My sister-in-law Linda found me an audio track and, unbelievably, a VIDEO.

“I was at the inaugural ball that was only for […]
Here’s an interview I did recently with emPower Music and Arts, about living the humor lifestyle. (A great website and resource, by the way.)
Greg,sharing laughter sounds like a pretty fantastic job description, but I bet it’s harder than it looks. What is the creative process like for you?
