Hi, everyone. I hope you are all well and are finding some light in these interesting times. Here in Massachusetts, we just had our first snowfall, preceding Halloween by a day. Really, nothing about 2020 surprises me anymore. At the same time, I do have to say that 2020 has given me plenty of time… More »

A Little Mixtape for you
Hi all! No big blog for you today, but I have a little bit of a present for you. Some time ago, I started keeping a Spotify playlist of tunes that I cover and also added in a few of my own. It helps me to both keep fresh on the songs (keeps the lyrics… More »
The Journey Home
I’ve been a little silent for the past few weeks. I mean I’ve been playing some great virtual gigs and recording (and re-recording) A LOT, but have not been doing a lot of writing. I think that’s about to change, but I do want to share something I wrote during a trip down to NJ… More »

September 5, 2018 was a pretty momentous day for me. I spent most of that Wednesday pretty completely freaked out.

Recording, and Being
Greetings everyone. It’s the end of another week, and the beginning of yet another. I cannot express to you how happy I am that I’ll be taking vacation time at the end of this week. Also, there are at least two new songs that feel like they want to be written. I plan to work… More »
Burnout
Sometimes life gives you clues in the form of subtle metaphors. Other times it delivers them with blunt force. Tuesday was one of those other times. My computer monitor had been acting strangely over the previous couple of days – suddenly shutting down, but responding to turn back on, and then turning itself off again… More »
