A Gifted 15 Year-Old Rocked My Music World

Breezy Love Rocking!

Winettka, IL—My work has taken me to Europe, Mexico and even India.  I’ve met some amazing people during my adventures.  Last summer I somehow found myself at a great concert.  The venue was the spacious back yard of a beautiful home where some wonderful intimate concerts are held. 

The weather could not have been nicer.  I had an elegant date for the evening but we did not quite know what to expect.  I loaded up with the wine, cheese grapes and other snacks in lieu of dinner.

I grabbed a front row seat and the show began.  The opening act was a precocious and amazing teen, Breezy Love.  She writes, sings and plays a guitar.   Soon she was wowing the audience with her raw talent.  This youngster absolutely owned her audience as few pros can ever equal. 

The star of the show was, Logan Brill who was not in anyway, chopped liver she has been honing her craft already for years.  Logan did not disappoint, but this review is all about Breezy because she was a real prodigy.  

Breezy must now concentrate on her education first and foremost.  But her gift of entertainment must soon be shared with the world.

Let me say that my childhood was a real mess and music lessons were out of the question and whatever special talents I had were never discovered.  Every child’s possible talents for the arts must be explored. I’m always thrilled when I see a youngster excel beyond not only their peers, but the adults in their lives.  

I was so impressed with Breezy I immediately contacted a long time friend working with NBC’s The Voice and America’s Got Talent.  Hopefully Breezy can catch a break   and be seen there.  The rest will take care of itself.

I love selfies with talented stars!

I’ve seen many talented people that were never properly promoted or represented by successful talent agents or managers.  They simply grow old in church choirs or lounges without ever getting the rewards they deserved.

If you have a child your absolute duty is to discover his or her’s talent and promote the Hell out of it.  That is if the child does not have some other interest that shows real promise.  

We all want to see our children have better lives than we have.  Life is too short to not take full advantage of our creator’s gifts.  

I know you will hear a lot more from Breezy.  I give her a definite, thumbs up!

On The Red Oscars Carpet or in The Combat Zone, TV Reporter Stephanie Stanton Shines

Los Angeles, CA—Chicago area native Stephanie Stanton does TV news.  I worked with this reporter in Phoenix where she covered the entire gamut of local TV news.  Whether it was covering a shooting or some fire or accident Stephanie always shined.

These days Stephanie is reporting for Al Jazeera America’s new cable news network venture.  I caught up Stephanie today in the middle of a hectic and boisterous anti-War demonstration.  With the demonstrators pushing yelling and acting up right behind her Stanton never missed a beat.  She got her interview and despite the heat and I never saw her sweat. 

I shot this somewhat wide view video below with a little GoPro camera that shows what TV viewers never see at home.  The audio from my camera got the overall noise from the demonstrators.  Imagine if you will the challenges the photographers must meet in order to give you crisp clean audio under the worst possible conditions.

Demonstrations in every city are somewhat peculiar.   In my experience as a cop and a newsman I don’t care what the cause is it’s always the same people mugging for the cameras holding signs and such.  It appears that for some people attending demonstrations is a hobby and a way to socialize.

It was fun visiting with Steph today.  She can always be found right in the middle of the heavy action!
