	Doug James is one of my dearest friends and my most trusted songwriting collaborator. Doug's songs have been recorded by Dionne Warwick, Joe Cocker, Cher, Michael Bolton, Dan Hill, Chaka Kahn and many, many more. He is best known for co-writing 1990 BMI song of the year "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You" with Michael Bolton. Two of our tunes will be released in 2011 on my upcoming CD.
	Jaared is an extraordinary talent who has performed with some of the top musicians of our time (including Sol wink, wink). In 2010 he released his CD Manhattan Nights (produced by Grammy Award Winning producer Michael Broening) that is still climbing the Smooth Jazz Charts! Keep your eyes on this shining star!
	Bryan Clark is a fabulous singer/entertainer and a very close friend of mine who has played a major role in helping my career of late. He is a soulful crooner who takes you back to the days of the "Rat Pack". His impersonation of Sammy Davis Jr. is the best I have ever seen! His home base is Rehoboth Beach Delaware, but fans all over the country are starting to find out about him as he tours.
	Mike Hines is an incredible entertainer. Mike had a record contract with Atlantic Records back in the early 90's of which I was blessed to be a part of. He still keeps a busy schedule performing in the Delaware, MD and PA region. If you like new and old school R&B...Don't miss him!
	Patty Blee Has quickly become one of my favorite singer/songwriters. Living and working mostly in New Jersey, Patty is starting to get recognition across the country for her sultry songs, incredible voice and outstanding guitar skills. With recent shows in New York and California and her own station on Pandora...Patty is one awesome talent you don't want to miss.

	Glass Onion is a Delaware party band that will knock your socks off. Charles Joiner is an outstanding drummer and old schoolmate of mine. He and I played in a band together when we were 13 years old for crying out loud...and he was awesome even then! Dale Teat is an outstanding musician and one of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet. These guys will keep you dancing all night long. Plus, please make sure to stop off at Earle Teat Music in Dover,DE to see Dale. He carries an extensive inventory of affordable and high end musical instruments and gear.
	B & B Music Is your one stop shop for everything from Yamaha Acoustic Pianos to Selmer Saxophones...from PRS, Martin and Taylor Guitars...to Alembic Basses! JBL sound equipment and Tascam recording gear!
	Dub Glenn is an outstanding one man band who specializes in BLUES! If you have my CD "Patience & Time" you can hear his sweet guitar playing on "The Chocolate Song" If you love blues you've got to see this guy. Make sure to meet his lovely wife Patti. The two of them are awesome people! Make sure to ask Dub to play you some of his outstanding original tunes. One of my favorites is a song called "Happy Anniversary...My Baby".
	Earle Teat Music I want to thank Dale Teat for supporting my recording project by contributing background vocals and letting us use guitars and keyboards from his awesome store. Thank you so much my friend!
	SongU.com SongU.com is an awesome songwriting training site. You can also pitch songs from this site! I have learned so much from the do it yourself courses and from the live feedback classes with hit songwriters. If you are a songwriter (either beginner or advanced) I HIGHLY recommend joining SongU.com. Please let them know I referred you!
	Richard Johnston is unlike anyone I have ever seen perform. He is a true one man band! He takes country blues and makes it his own. Make sure to buy his CD's! He performs on Beal Street in Memphis,TN
	Renaissance Guitars One of Sol's favorite guitars is his cutom made walnut ren made by Rick Turner. If you love playing acoustic guitar out live but are tired of the feedback and the bulkiness...make sure to check out Rick's incredible guitars. And make sure to tell him that Sol sent you!
	Craig Bickhardt Craig has been called a "Songwriter's Songwriter" and I must say that I agree. He has penned close to 1000 songs, 4 of which have become #1 hits on the Country charts. People like Martina McBride, The Judds, Kathy Mattea and Ty Herndon have had hits with Craig's tunes. Through SongU.com, Craig has recently played an important role in my development as a writer from both the creative perspective and from the business side of the industry. He is a very talented man and an unselfish soul. I strongly urge you to visit his site and purchase his music. You'll be glad you did!
