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 »
If you’re wondering why it’s been a little while since there has been a long blog post, it’s because we have been busy! One of the things we’ve been working on is recording music. Demo versions of both “Clouds” and “In a Minor Key” were released to SoundCloud a few weeks ago. If you haven’t… More »
Hi all, I’ve got quite a bit to share with you, including an update on new recordings and also a few new virtual events. But I’ll do that tomorrow. Today is Juneteenth.

However, I’ve also been immersing myself in as much music as possible: writing, performing, even learning. First, there’s new music. Remember… More »
Hi all, I know I haven’t written in a bit (a month to be exact) and I do have a nice SUPER LONG post coming, but this article just showed up in the Atlantic today, and I think you ought to read it. First, it’s Dave Grohl, so…. Second, I miss live music, and I… More »
So, things are pretty quiet around here these days. Not in terms of music – there’s plenty going on there, including a demo for “Clouds,” which is now making its way to a true recorded form. Likewise on the performance front: I have a few live-stream performances coming up, the first of which will be… More »
Man, these are weird times. First, let me repeat what I said the last time – I really hope that you are all safe and healthy. This is a very scary time, and all of us have been affected. On the one hand, I do want to share with you some silver linings from my… More »
