Welcome To My New Home Page

It's been over a year since I've updated my site - so here's the start: an new overall design, and some updated material for you to (hopefully) enjoy. There's a lot of HB stuff floating around the web. In particular, YouTube has been gifted with a ton of my video/musical meanderings. If you find anything of interest here, you might want to check out my other sites for more nonsense. Otherwise: here's what's new (and not-so-new).

GRANTCHESTER MEADOWS

My latest project (Fall of 2010') has been Grantchester Meadows. After "X" amount of years of retirement from the satge, I decided to go out with a solo acoustic (sorta) act called Grantchester Meadows - named after the old Pink Floyd song on their "Ummagumma" LP. Over time, I hope to develop this project into a full-blown stage presentation that will do the material justice, but for now it's slow going. Check out my UPDATES page for any further information, and a (small) video of the song "Grantchester Meadows" performed live at DIY Saturdays in December of 2010'.

Saxon Sound Updates

Saxon Sound is the name of my home studio, and we've moved to Upper Greenwood Lake, NJ.. There's always something going on here, and I'll use this site to update you on the music, the projects, and the gear.

NEW STUFF FOR 2009'

  • The GROWING OLD & STAYING GOLD CD - featuring Harry Baggs and Rich Rilliet from 2007', is still available. Described as "Folkadelic" this collection of songs includes a couple covers by Chrysalis, and Roky Erikson.


  • The NEW INQUISITION CD is done and available. Ten new songs that turn a different corner. You'll find the same depth of psychedelia included, but perhaps on a more relaxed plane. Recorded in 2008', this is one of my favorite collections. Now available - so ask!

  • One of my projects completed in 2009' is an audio/video interpretation of J.D. Salinger's THE CATCHER IN THE RYE. I posted a new chapter every two weeks and finished 24 chapters by year's end. The first chapter, entitled: THE SECRET GOLDFISH can be seen at the bottom of ths page. Due to bandwidth constrictions, I can't post it here with full quality. Better quality videos (as well as the entire series) are being posted at YouTube.
In Chapter One: we get an introduction to Holden Caufield. He's flunked out of school (again), and as the scene opens, he's standing on a nearby hill thinking about what a "loser" he is. The holiday break is approaching, and everyone will be going home to be with their families. Holden isn't excited about telling his family that he flunked out of school, so he decides to leave early and spend a couple days in NYC before going home. Before he leaves, he thinks about the school, his future, and tries to find something to say goodbye to.
