Steve Seskin

Steve is realizing that he is so busy that he is not responding to people who leave messages here, even though he reads them all. To make sure that you don't feel forgotten, I will answer whatever you want to know, and if there's something I can't answer, I'll find out from Steve. Steve asked me to make sure you know that he appreciates all the support, either communicated to him or not, that he has gotten from you through all these years. Without you, his music would not be the same.

hey steve,

i just got back from your "melodies" class for NSAI's songposium... and i'm confident in saying that of the many classes i've taken about songwriting since I've moved from Chicago 6 months ago, yours has been the most helpful for me, hands down. I am always skeptical what a 90-minute class can actually teach me (once I'm actually going to write a song), but I know you nailed it with your 4 points. And I will take those out from now on, each time I write one. Thank you SO much, Steve. It was a pleasure.

hey steve, i am playing an event which you are at the end of the month, i look forward to hearing you. I'd love to learn from you one day

Steve! We were thrilled to discover your website today, because your song "Everybody Wins" has touched hundreds of folks in our open adoption agency over the years. It is the opening 'introit' we play at every adoptive parent orientation weekend we've held every other month for over a decade and your words and melody are etched in the hearts of every family we create. Thank you for sharing your extraordinary talent with children and parents everywhere. We are forever in your debt!

I first heard you in 1976 playing in the Bay Area. Still to this day I remember you singing "Shady Lady", seeing you play with Stevie Gurr, Robin and others in I think Cupertino. My daughter is now 27 and she has always had Steve Seskin music in her life. I thank you for that.

Those of you who have attended house concerts at our house probably
remember seeing my sister, Anita. She was usually a little pale and
pretty tired - she had Hepatitis C and it had affected her liver
quite a bit by the time it was discovered. She had been a heroin
addict for most of her adult life, and quit using to show her (now
adult) son that college wasn't hard - she graduated the same year he
did.

When we realized just how sick she was, Steve (I think he's really an
angel, not a mortal) insisted that she move in with us so we could
take care of her. Our hope was that she would get better and be able
to live a lot longer - but after living with us for 6 years, her body
finally gave up. When we cleaned her room out, we found a small
cactus in a 2" pot - she had stuck two eyes on it so it looked like a
little head. I didn't have the heart to throw it away, so I stuck it
in our window box in the back of the orchids, watering it only
occasionally. I had to keep it, because I kept thinking of Steve's
song, Cactus in a Coffee Can. I figured it wouldn't last long - I
have a green thumb, but not for cactus - but, in spite of its cramped
quarters, the darn thing kept growing! The pot kept tipping over, so
I stuck it, pot and all, into a slightly larger plastic pot to try to
keep it upright.

Anyway, I just went to water the orchids, and to my surprise, the
cactus is blooming. And it's spring. Anita, I love you!

You can see a photo of the cactus in Steve's photo gallery.
