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.
