Music

When I was in charge of business meetings at Avon Products, I discovered how much I enjoy songs, songwriting, and especially … lyrics. Back then, the words of my songs were designed to help create a 10% bigger Christmas selling season. But no matter what the subject, I found that I loved working with words that could be set to music.

Years later, after I’d left corporate life and done some marketing consulting, I became a Creative Gun for Hire, working for meeting production companies and for some corporations directly.

For a client’s event in Cancun, Mexico, for example — intended to make its sales achievers feel great about themselves — I wrote a song with these words: “You’ve earned your own fiesta. Because you are the Best-a!” It’s not Shakespeare, I know … but the clients and their audience loved it.

Always My Angel
Always My Angel
I’m proud to help write a song in honor of all who were affected by Sandy Hook. But the lyrics to “Always My Angel” were written, as well, with a desire to offer even a small amount of healing and comfort to anyone feeling the loss of a loved one. Every time I hear this song, I think of my mother, Lucille Greenly. She was the #1 reason I’m a writer today.
