I had an overwhelming experience today. A couple years back, I volunteered for an organization that plays music for people who are very near death. Irish music was requested by the daughter. So I went to a hospice to play a few songs. After one favorite song of the mother and daughter, the mother breathed […]
Back with a Voice for Cat Lovers Everywhere
Shortly after my last weekly update, I lost my voice entirely. It was then I decided to break down and take antibiotics for my sore throat and laryngitis. I was feeling better by the end of the week. That got me back to Yoga and exercising on a daily basis. Plus, I’m finally feeling productive […]

Pure bliss. Afterward, I composed this tune thinking of Assisi, St. Francis, the cathedral and the that happy sense of […]

How to Avoid Reclusion at Seven O’Clock in the Morning
