Lauren and Dave’s Down Town Club Wedding
I am very grateful to get the opportunity to work with so many awesome people – weekend after weekend – just like Lauren and Dave, the bride and groom from this wedding.

Rebecca’s Bat Mitzvah
I recently had the great honor to preside as MC and DJ at Rebecca’s Bat Mitzvah. Rebecca had been a camper and dance student of mine to at a local summer camp in Bucks County.

Motown Love Songs of the 1960s (side three)
This is the third and perhaps final installment of a three-part series of Motown love songs, each with its own unique play list of Motown hits that represent what I carefully selected to represent the best kind of love songs. No begging forgiveness, no betrayal, no stalking or unrequited love, but shared and celebrated love.... Read More
The Cairnwood Wedding of Stefania and Tim
Cairnwood is like a second home to most of us here at Cutting Edge, and what a privilege that is. On Sept. 7th of 2013 I had the pleasure of sharing the Cairnwood Estate, giving way to the new husband and wife team, Stefania and Tim. They were an absolute pleasure to work with while... Read More
Motown Love Songs of the 1960s (side two)
Upon compiling a list of great Motown love songs from the 1960s, it didn’t take long to realize that one list just wouldn’t be enough.

This is the first of a three-part series of Motown love songs, where the not-so-good love songs (begging forgiveness love, done wrong love, unrequited love, et cetera) have been carefully vetted, leaving only the songs with lyrics that rejoice in all that amazing about love. Some romantic, some fun,... Read More
The Temptations (a Biography) by Mark Ribowsky
Technically, the title of the book is The Troubled Lives and Enduring Soul of The Temptations – Ain’t Too Proud To Beg. No clue why the author decided to make the title so damn long, nor why my webmaster stuck me with a blog format that gave me such a finite character limit. I’ll have... Read More
