" ALTHOUGH I  HAVE BEEN PLAYING MUSIC FOR ALL OF MY LIFE, I WANTED TO DO A COMPLETELY ORIGINAL PROJECT. I WANTED TO DO, OR AT LEAST BE INVOLVED  IN, MOST OF THE KEY TASKS, FROM THE WRITING AND SINGING AND PLAYING, TO THE ARRANGING AND PRODUCING. I PUT A SMALL TEAM TOGETHER WITH THE VERY BEST MUSICIANS I KNEW,  FOUND A TOP NOTCH PRODUCER, AND CALLED IT LR WESTBRIDGE  AND THE RAZOR SHARPS."

 DOWN IN THE FLATS begins with two rockers - the punk inspired WONDERFUL GIRL and the classic sounding I’M WORKING ... A SECOND CHANCE sounds the horn of hope .... RIGHT ON TIME blends salsa with rock ...ANYTIME AY ALL is a rocker in the 1950’s style ... UNEXPECTED LOVE features a beautiful flute accompaniment... AGAIN is that second chance again ...YOU KEEP ME WONDERING sings the blues... and DOWN IN THE FLATS is a portrait of working class America set in Cleveland
