In honor of my birthday this month,  you should please excuse the pun!  Yep, it’s time to celebrate.  I’m putting away the tax prep work and taking a break from teaching.  No performances are booked in the near future. I’m through planning photo shoots & studio time, and happy leaving my You Tube Channel as is, for now.  It’s time for a little birthday vacation.  My Darling Sweetheart, my  beautiful “Labra-dobie-dor”, and I are heading for a cabin in a densely wooded area up by the Russian River.  There will be nothing better to do than stare at the fire, relax in the hot tub, put a jigsaw together and eat Shelly’s practically world famous lasagna casserole and some See’s butterscotch  squares.  It’s a tough life, but somebody’s got to keep the vacation rental industry alive and well.

  • Creative Adventure

    Photos of Mom & Dad are proudly displayed on my mantel in honor of their special days.  I like to believe they’re watching over me, and trying to help from the other side.  Hopefully they feel as proud of me as I felt when “my” kids played their pieces at the Annual Spring Recital last month.   My…

  • “Springified”

    It’s the season for something new.  So when I got an email intro to Dan Damon from our mutual  webmaster, I absolutely had to go hear him.  Dan performs both jazz & spiritual music just like I do, and plays an extremely pleasant jazz piano at Hotel Mac in Pt. Richmond.  It was a lovely evening and so nice to meet…

  • What Makes Me Happy

    I love recording at Sandy Stone’s studio. My new CD containing three of my original inspirational songs is done, and I’m happy with it. You probably wouldn’t know what a miracle that is, so let me explain that like so many artists, I am my own worst critic. But, Sandy has a way of capturing…
