My first love in life is my family. This is Carol--God's 2nd best gift to me.

This is Benny, my oldest, with a moose. Ben says, "Save somebody else for it."

Rebecca is Benny's big little sister. She is now Dr. Weinberg.

Next to my family, my love is dogs--
more specifically, poodles!
This is Isaac. He makes us laugh again.

There's also Bizet (white dog) and Kookaburra the cat [RIP].

as well as dear departed Marmalade--hiding on top of the fridge.

There are dogs...and then there are poodles.

Just like there are rock bands...
and then there's the Beatles!

After my family & pets, my big love in life is music. I've been tickling the ivories since I was 5.

As a teenager, I fell in love with the pipe organ, a machine with several keyboards
and hundreds of keys, buttons, pistons, knobs and tablets played with all the limbs!

Celtic music is my favorite non-classical style: Irish & Scottish music as exemplified by The Chieftains.

After the fam, pets & music, I love to garden and landscape with my wife at our house in Brentwood. 150 years ago, my backyard was part of a huge plantation. We call the soil "chocolate pudding."

I'm a Yankee Jew. So what am I doing being a church organist!?

I've also been a church choir director. Here's a picture of me with the choir. (click to enlarge)

I spend a crazy amount of time working on this site!

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a herpetologist. I had an alligator, chameleons, turtles & snakes as pets! (click to enlarge)

But that didn't happen, because...

...like this site, life is a work in progress.
