And she is so incredible; she’s so sweet.” “(Good morning to you, Al, and thanks so much for being in the ‘Daverhood,’ and welcome. You’ve got a musical that you have written and it’s going be workshopped and done. Just tell us about ‘Silent Tears.’) And poetry is something you generally never write music to because it’s a different format. But it’s come pretty easy to me because the message is so strong. It has one theme that we’re not so terribly different. But what makes this show very different is that it breaks down boundaries, the show. The show should be against all boundaries. It should be, every continent in the world should be able to hear these songs.” Red Carpet Media Coverage “I’m here at the renowned Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
