1. Morning Prayer 2. This Masquerade 3. Hello 4. How Deep Is The Ocean 5. Nature Boy
There is a sweet melancholy tone to his voice that touches the soul and uplifts. I can't wait to hear the whole EP. I hope Jason books an small venue in Manhattan in the near future to showcase his musical talents!

"Don't die with your music still in you" - Wayne Dyer
"I was recently asked why I was doing this now . . . and the answer is simple: to explore the part of myself that always wanted to make music. I finally got to the place in my life where the fear of not being good enough was not as great as my need to express myself. It’s taken a long time to recognize that nagging voice of judgment, self-criticism, and comparison was not a loving one, and to take contrary action.
The French philosopher and Jesuit priest, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, wrote, “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” I now know a big part of this human experience has been the journey of finding my own voice, both literally and figuratively. For some of us this happens early in life, and for others later. May your music not die in you either." - Jason Gould

He has the same problem as Liza, he's not allowed to sing Mama's music.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
I wonder if he pre-recorded "All I Need Is The Girl"?
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
I think it's less worry about his inheritance and more a mid-life decision to do something he always felt he couldn't or shouldn't.
I say, good for him.
Forty-six is a good age to say, "Why the hell SHOULDN'T I do that? I'm not going to live forever or be healthy forever or be able forever. If I don't do it now, when will I ever?"
I say good for him. I got a coupla things on my "bucket list" I'm working on. Maybe he will inspire me.
As Cole Porter wrote, "We shall never be younger than we are today."
I agree that the production is kinda a bit snoozy, but it's not bad. I doubthe's deluded enough to think this is going to flourish at this point into a massive career, or anything though--so good for him.
