That combination of being relaxed and alert is where I like coming from; then my life is enjoyable and fascinating..

Once I have some new song ideas that I am inspired to work with I usually have to roll up my sleeves do “the arrangement.”
For me that means:
Sometimes this part of putting together an album is the most difficult in my opinion. However, besides being very necessary, it can make a huge difference in what you get out of the song as a fan/listener! So it’s a must:)
Here is a piece from my Comfort Songs album that turned out nicely:

There’s a clarity in the air that winter can bring; can you sense it? It’s a type of stillness; a call for soul awareness if you will. I find value in tuning in to that when I can..

Bouncing some new music off of select fans to see what’s happening and what’s not; should be enlightening:) I’ve decided how great would it be to get even more opinions on my new material before I commit to releasing it? Of course it’s about what songs I love, but when you really strip it down it’s not so much about me as it is about you. Without you I would only be playing for the birds and trees etc!

I’ve decided to give a solo piano song away as a download every week for awhile:) I know I tried that before, but got sidetracked..sorry:)
However- the powers that be say it’s a great idea for getting my name out and about the internet more, so I listened and obeyed:)
So stay posted; if you like my stuff my home page should be worth checking out soon..
Have a good one:)
