It's all about the love... of music, of art, of writing, of sharing. It's what we're here for. I've been a solo artist for much of my life, but it's other people that make life worth living. Just needing to share what I've been given. Along with my solo work, there are also some tunes I did with The Tao Tones, which was me, Bob Elliott and Matt Perez, and with The Trouts which was me, Brad McCrea, Sean O'Malley and Jay Quibodeaux.

I'm also a painter and you can see some of my work at www.paintingtheearth.com. and at www.saatchigallery.com. The paintings next to my songs were done by me, though I do mostly landscapes these days. I have a show in Vermont in November- December, and another two in Seattle in November and December/ January.

Haven't been playing live in a while. I'll keep you posted. I've written a ton of new music lately and I'm working on some more paintings. I've recently finished another solo album called "Annus Mirabilis." (Insert juvenile joke here). If you want one, I'm more than happy to burn you a copy FOR FREE! Just tell me where to send it.
