Speaking with Stephen was just such a delight. He's easy going, insightful, entertaining and talented. He clearly loves his kraft. He's an accomplished
pianist, drummer, guitarist and vocalist. My guest studied jazz, pop and classical music genres. When Stephen was a young boy, he saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show, and that was the beginning of
his musical adventures. He couldn't get enough.
He not only credits his mother for guiding him on his musical journey, but it was also his grandmother's music box that intrigued him to no end, then and still today.
And here he is today, over 60 years working in the music industry. He's recorded eleven albums and his most recent, release in 2023 titled, "Songs, Dreams, Circumstance."
There's so much more to Stephen's story. I hope you enjoy getting to know Stephen's mom and all that she instilled in her son, including being aware and caring for others. She's also remembered for
using the phrase, "play the ball where it lands," and "make a plan and work a plan." Both of these expressions helped Stephen stay the course when perhaps his Tourette Syndrome got in his way.
An absolute pleasure spending time getting to know Stephen and he says he's "a dedicated Neurodiversity advocate."

What is Tourette syndrome?Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder that may cause sudden unwanted and uncontrolled rapid and repeated movements or vocal sounds called tics. TS is one of a group of disorders of the developing nervous system called tic disorders.
The motor (involving body movement) or vocal (involving sounds you make) tics of TS come and go over time, varying in type, frequency, location, and severity. If you have tics, you cannot stop your body from having them. The first symptoms usually occur between the ages of 5 and 10 years, generally in the head and neck area. These may progress to include the muscles in your torso, arms, and legs. Motor tics generally occur before the development of vocal tics.
Tourette syndrome affects more boys than girls. Most people with TS experience their worst tic symptoms in their early teens, but tics typically lessen and become controlled by the late teens to early 20s. For some people, TS can be a chronic condition with symptoms that last into adulthood. In some cases, tics may worsen in adulthood. TS is not a degenerative condition (one that continues to get worse) and individuals with TS have a normal life expectancy.

"Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers and the roles they play in our lives. And my guests answer the question, 'are you who you are today because of, or in spite of, your mother'? You'll be amazed at what the responses are.
"Should Have Listened To My Mother" would not be possible without the generosity, sincerity and insight from my guests. In getting ready to launch my podcast, so many were willing to give their time and share their personal relationships with their mother.
Some of my guests include Baritone Singer Christopheren Nomura, Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist Tim Wacker, Activist Kim Miller, Freighter Sea Captain Terry Viscount, Film Production Manager Peg Robinson, Professor of Writing Montclair State University Dr. Bridget Brown, Tammy Steckler, attorney and family advocate @CUNY Law; NYC First Responder/NYC Firefighter Mark Heingartner, Child and Adult Special Needs Activist, Maryellen Valyo Cole and Roger Evens, Property Manager in New Jersey and so many more talented and insightful women and men.
I've worked in the broadcasting industry for over four decades. I've interviewed so many fascinating people including musicians, celebrities, authors, activists, entrepreneurs, politicians and more.
A big thank you goes to Ricky Soto, NYC based Graphic Designer, who created my logo for "Should Have Listened To My Mother".
