A BLUE TOMATO WORLD

A Blue Tomato World

Welcome to a Blue Tomato World,

a world of music and design.

Humor and Hollywood nostalgia.

I’ll just start by saying that

writing songs is more about

being born with a broken heart

than anything else.

I know it’s hard to think that

a baby can come out of a womb

so sad, and all, but I did.

It was like having a port wine

stain on my heart, 

except that no one could see it,

especially me . . . not until later.

That’s when I wrote my first song

“Yesterday’s Love” at 16.

So take a look around my house

and listen to a song I composed
on this piano.

“I Really Miss You, Tonight!”
This is a new arrangement

I made on a Yamaha Keyboard
with saxophone, guitar, piano/vibraphone.

Don’t think I still feel sad.

I love making art out of sad stories.

When I was 8, I was to be in a May Festival

with my first long dress.

Mother got a free trip

to her home office in Omaha

and a side trip to Chicago.

She was gone for a week.

She had never left me before.

I had to sleep on an old cot, because

a neighbor came over to stay with Grandma..  

and she slept in our bed.
I missed her so much that week.

So here's the song from YouTube

That's what Blue Tomato music is about.

Thanks for visiting.
