It was so much fun to sing with the Magnolia Jazz Band again late last month, on such a beautiful day in Napa.  It seemed like Summer, but the next thing I knew, it was time to get ready for October Share The Music Day.  This is an informal event where the students play for each other and their parents.  It’s not easy to get everyone organized into  groups and  feeling confident about a couple of pieces, but it’s one of my very best tricks!  Meanwhile, I sent off the copyright papers for the fourteenth and final song for the album I’ve been writing.  This called for a celebration,  so I stopped at Burger King for an ice cream cone.  Since I count calories everyday this 170 calories of frozen vanilla delight is one of my very best treats!

Suddenly, and out of nowhere, the jazz bug has bitten me…

    Whoa! 2018. Seriously? Sometimes it feels like I’m being pole vaulted through time. There’s never enough of it. The older I get the more important it feels not to fritter any of it away. Precious stuff it is, and easy to get stressed out trying to squeeze in everything I want to do. Funny thing…

  • Can We?

    We try, and try, and try.  Our effort is not enough.  We cry, and cry, and cry.  Our tears flow to nowhere.  There is a Loving Source, call it what you may, that can heal every heart, take the world’s pain away. Can I, can you, can we focus on Love, and Light, and Peace?
