Happy New Year - 2022

* MONDAY JANUARY 3RD - HAPPY NEW YEAR

I've been laying low since Orlando. Resting and reloading for 2022. Music has provided opportunities for me to travel and foster new friendships and for that I'm most thankful. Having my family join me in Orlando made this opera about my grandmother that much more special.

San Antonio Report - Texas Skies

* WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 24 2021 - SA REPORT ARTICLE

Thanks to Nicholas Frank for the thoughtful review and insight into my new album, Texas Skies. I chuckled when I read the first quote from my mom! She had adult things to consider but I had nowhere to be so I could let my mind drift as a 6 year old in the back of our Suburban and soak in the surrounding landscapes. It's a great read when you have the time.
