All the kids are back in school, and navigating the challenges of a new grade.  Scary?  Exciting?  Maybe kind of Fun?  Meanwhile: The last song (#14) for my album is written, and suddenly I’m thrown into the pre-production phase.  First it’s a big “Whoopee-e-e-e!”  Then reality strikes. This is certainly not my first album, but it’s my first all original one, and now it’s time to rehearse, memorize, make arrangements and charts, call in other musicians….”Holy Smokes!”  How did this happen?  Yep, it’s scary and exciting and really, really, really  fun.

Wish you could be invited, but as usual, it’s a private event. Maybe a public booking will pop up in February? Maybe it’ll show up for Valentines Day….I truly hope…

  • “Trick-ling”

    Memories of Halloween come “trick-ling” back to me this time of year. My family lived in a small town where traditional Trick-or-Treat was entirely safe. I especially liked going to the Eminheisers’ house where we were invited in to see the extravagant decorations (nothing to “freak-out” little children in those days). The grand tour ended…

    This Day is precious.  It matters. Days are dwindling. This Day is opportunity.  It spreads before me like a carpet of flowers   that will be wilted tomorrow.                                                      …

    It’s the “month of love” again.  As always, I’m deeply grateful for my loving partner of multiple decades, loving parents who live on in my heart, and so many loving friends and business relationships.  This year I’m looking beyond personal relationships at the bigger picture.  Yep, I’m thinking really BIG! Here goes: I aspire to love each moment.  (That…
