Whyte Panther

Whyte Panther -- Born and most likely conceived under the Verrazzano Bridge in Brooklyn, NY (god how my mom LOVES it when I tell that part). I am now living in the south east corner of Arizona in Geronimo's old stomping grounds. Sometimes life throws you unexpected curves that change your life forever. Stumbling across this beautiful part of the country is one of the most amazing blessings I have ever been given. If you had told me three short years ago that I'd be known as "Luigi, the Brooklyn born italian cowboy" I would have just about fallen over. Spreading joy and a hunger for more of it is now my task in life. I've inherited a Karaoke DJ gig at a local watering hole and have been "infecting" folks with the "let the song flow from your heart" virus almost to the point of an epidemic. When the spirit moves me I jot down a word or three and over time I'll be sharing those words here. Find your joy... cling tightly to it... and share it with all you know and love.

    4/16/2012

  • Meet Me in Tucson -- Lyrics
    4/15/2012

    2/16/2012
    Easy when you're on the outside looking in at someone's misfortune, especially if you had a hand in it. I've been using the term "bad juju" for a long, long time. But what are you gonna do when the "bad juju" comes for you? This one's for Zay-Zay.

    2/7/2012
