Going through some old files I found this. It documents a night back in 2004. Just another New York night. A true story. If we are lucky there are experiences in life that we avoid or at least minimize. And a visit to the emergency room at the hospital is just such an experience. I’ve […]
Seriously…is it just me? I despair sometimes at how difficult basic communication has become. We live in a world that revolves around the written word more than ever before. But when those words are in the form of texts or emails (a dying form that has morphed into something closer to texts) the quality of […]
From a performance in Santa Fe, New Mexico with my dear friend Peter Farrell on piano. Sound by Jacy Oliver.
I’d never planned to do it but somebody asked me to. I took a considerable amount of time to bring together every lyric I’ve ever written that I consider worthwhile. And I have created an 8.5 x 11 inch book to coincide with the launch of my next album. Both are called LOOKING AT LIFE. […]

Quite some time ago I said my new album was almost finished. And at that time it was true. So where is it? With my apologies for my long silence on this site, here’s the answer. First, with much help from Karl Hindle, this site is now hosted by his company. Moves like this are […]
