I love having a sense of being “focused.” It keeps the music pure and flowing the way it should. It makes it much easier for good things to happen in my world:)

Sometimes smiling, or laughing for no particular reason really brightens the day; I just tried it. I realized I really don’t need a reason to feel great; it’s simply a choice! And good things will come from that place in my opinion:) So I’ll probably do it more often…

Staying open for some more inspiring piano music to come through for sharing; so far so good..
What does that mean? For me it means being emotionally, mentally, and spiritually available for the grand music flow, or whatever you choose to call it to visit me and leave a gift:) A gift as in a rush of true inspiration that I can easily work with a bit, create a great recording of, and eventually share with anyone interested:)
I’m smart enough at this point to realize this isn’t a me only deal:) I’d be nowhere without that beautiful Flow I get to dip into from time to time that has graced my life some reason. The word gratitude certainly applies here!

Sometimes finding the right music to compose and record feels like I’m looking through layers of interesting material until I find something that really stands out; it’s usually quite a challenge:)

I am constantly hearing music in my head..I bet you do too..It’s nice to be able to just enjoy it. What happens with me though, is I decide I have to do something with it:) And it will keep tapping me on the shoulder until I actually do.
The challenge for me is to get it out in a form that is enjoyable to listen to, and also something I can play. So I drop everything and coop up in my studio till it’s recognizable:) Then after that..who knows? Maybe it will end up out in the world maybe not..wish I could know that beforehand, but it doesn’t seem to work that way!

Of late I have been writing new material and enjoying the ride:) This has always been one of my favorite things to do!
