Sharing my poem about ‘Big Louie.’
‘I Cuoro Malato’ means ’The Sick Heart’ in English. And the song Cuoro Matto means Crazy Heart.
Hundreds of people were at Monday's funeral showing and it took hours to get through the line. A sign of the love and respect for Big Louie.

To make a film, it takes a team. And I’m on a winner.
Thanks to a Windsor Endowment for the Arts grant, I’m one big step closer to making my film, Bus Stop, Bus Goes. It’s based on my short story in my book Stories in the Key of Song.
Looking forward to rolling film. #YQG

I have a great commercial idea for Wonder bread, set to the music of Elvis Presley’s “The Wonder of You.”
If Marvin Gaye’s “Heard it Through the Grapevine” could sell Sun-Maid raisins and Apple could create adorable flying toaster screen savers (remember them?), why not?
