"What Does Spock Love? (The Women)" - on Dr. Demento's Leonard Nimoy Tribute

Included on today's episode of the Dr. Demento Show was a tribute to the late, great Leonard Nimoy.  I'm very proud that a song of mine was included in this tribute: "What Does Spock Love? (The Women)."  We will all miss Leonard Nimoy very much.

Farewell, Leonard Nimoy

I have just heard the very sad news of the passing of Leonard Nimoy.  His role as Mr. Spock has always been an inspiration to me.  It was great to recently see him reprise that role in the latest two Star Trek films.  I have lost a childhood hero, and we have all lost a wonderful human being.

Here are a few songs that I wrote, inspired by Leonard Nimoy's portrayal of Spock:

This blog has had a good run.  I'm proud of what has come from the project.  I will continue to post music here, but I will not be doing it according to any set schedule for the time being.  I will also continue to post my new musical works on my YouTube channel, so please check out http://www.youtube.com/samstokes80 to hear my latest music.
