The Music Man
November 19, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Over the years, I’ve worked with composers who have taken lyrics I’ve written and arranged some beautiful scores. It’s a collaborative process where I give composers samples of the kind of music I would like for a particular song. It’s always fun when they come up with a musical idea and I hear it for […]

I’ve been working with this group of volunteers for the past month and a half. It is the cast of Thirsty, a production that will be staged at The Stone Church, Dec 6 & 7 for 3 performances. It is a play that combines drama with song. The music is original and is composed by […]

I am 3 weeks in rehearsing a new stage production for Christmas called Thirsty. The cast has been great and I am working with 6 new volunteers which can be daunting if you don’t know them.

I’ve been writing screenplays for some time. Over the years, I have sent out many letters (yes, there was a time when we used to write letters) and emails regarding my work. I’ve kept every written rejection I have received in letter form and in email response. As many of you know, last year my […]

The guy next to me is Scott Loyst. He was the drummer in the production of black/white which I staged back in April. Scott’s a talented dude… his day/night job is a paramedic, but he drums, skateboards everywhere and now I’m learning he is a painter – and a darn good one. He made this […]

What Leo Said…

“Everything at the end of the day when you’re making a movie starts with the material and how well written the script is. I’ve never seen a silk purse made from a sow’s ear. I’ve never seen it happen wherein a ‘crap’ script with ‘crap’ characters, a director somehow found a way to make a […]
