A few years ago, a mass shooting hit very, very close to home and broke my and many of my friends’ hearts...
A few days ago, the mass shooting in the synagogue in Pittsburgh was added to a terribly long list of mass shootings here in the U.S.

It pains me to say that we all know there will be more. The lack of sufficient gun control laws here is appalling.
It’s evident that we need them. It’s common sense. But the insanity, the dichotomy, is getting worse by the day.

I chose to write this song ‘What Else Needs To Happen?’ and include President Barack Obama’s powerful and emotional words as his frustration about this insanity, says it best.

I wrote this song hoping that it will help to create motion.
Midterm elections are coming on November 6th and this is a chance to actually do something.

GO VOTE!!! It makes a difference...

I hope that this song won’t be relevant in a few years.

#GoVote
