When I met Al, he was wearing a bear-skin cloat and antlers; he was strange and wonderful. The next time I met him, he was wearing a black shirt and jeans...and he was EVEN MORE strange and wonderful. Al Polito is a rare mix of laughter, spirituality, spontaneous fun and adventure! XO, Janea

The man, the myth, the legend. An engima wrapped in spicy secret sauce is the best way to describe Al Polito. A folk rocker with a mystic edge and aura. To meet Al, is to be charmed, to converse with him is discover that the well runs mysteriously deep and takes some unexpected turns. If I could tell Al anything it would be, "Thank you, for being weird." And I mean that as the highest form of flattery.
Also, the new songs are sounding awesome.

A fellow bat-lover and all i have to say he is a mindblowing, sexy, caring and beautiful bloke. His music and thoughts have been a great inspiration to me eventhough I have only known him a short time and I know great things are on the horizon and the he will accomplish his dreams. He tapped into my fear and made me come out of my shell and I am thankful for that. Big hugs always, Meeegs.

about me
I'm a dreamer in metaphors. I'm a songwriter, guitarist, I'm a leader, a lover, a fighter (for things I stand for), a man, a boy. I'm a friend, a coach, and at times a vulnerable ball of goo. I am open-minded. I'm looking for a way to contribute to you. Yeah you.
I perform concerts in people's homes. You invite your friends, set out some food, and I'll entertain and inspire you with fun, interesting, memorable songs. I'lll provoke your thoughts with my lyrics and commentary. I'll pour my life into every song, and you'll be energized.
I am a professional writer. You name it, and I can probably write it, and fast too. See thewritething.biz
I run a bootcamp for artists, called Jumpstart Your Art. See jumpstartyourart.net.
I'm a personal coach and spiritual director. I can help you with goal setting, or releasing goals!

Last weekend I participated in the Sedona Temple’s Daka/Dakini Conference for sexual healers.
When they announced the conference several months ago, I was at a similar conference organized by Sedona Temple in Chicago, and I knew that I would want to see my far-flung friends from around the United States again. Other than to connect with people I love and be around an energy that I intensely enjoy, I didn’t have a specific reason to go. But I registered – it’s a g...

People of Lesbos take gay group to court over term 'Lesbian'
By NICHOLAS PAPHITIS, Associated Press Writer Wed Apr 30, 5:04 PM ET
ATHENS, Greece - A Greek court has been asked to draw the line between the natives of the Aegean Sea island of Lesbos and the world's gay women.
Three islanders from Lesbos — home of the ancient poet Sappho, who praised love between women — have taken a gay rights group to court for using the word lesbian in its name.
One of the plai...

Hello Gentle Readers:
Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers over the past week on behalf of my father and niece. Very good news: My father greeted me and Delinda (my housemate and awesome friend) at the door when I came to visit him and mom over the weekend. Dad is walking around, albeit with a very fluid-filled and bruisy looking left leg. His foot is fine and when both his leg and brochitis are healed, then he's going in for bypass surgery (as yet unscheduled). My niece Sara has ...

Hey SoCal family,
In the midst of some family turbulence at present.... my father has recently become infirm (he's 86) and I'm coming down to see him and spend some time with him, as well as attend my brother's wedding -- also a bittersweet occasion as his 13-year old daughter has been hospitalized with congenital kidney cystitis of some sort... very serious...
Anyway, my amazing roommate and dear friend Delinda has offered to come down with me to LA and as it turns out the family beds...
