NEW VIDEO #1 - Outside the Circle (4:41)

I have always used this expression and am proud to dwell ‘outside’ the circle. Musicians need a unique defining style that allows them a career as original creators. It is both a curse and a gift to be different. Media and radio want to pigeonhole you, but they need clarification that it’s OK to like, review, or play your music. It tests their ability to make judgments without knowing how many awards an artist has or the size of their audience. The gatekeepers that decide our fate determine what level of audience access we will be given. I’m happy to dwell outside the circle and take what comes to me, fair or unfair! It’s a good place to arrive at.

NEW VIDEO #2 - The Journey (Solo Piano) (5:03)

Recorded in 2011 (600 Years in a Moment) with many layers of instrumentation, including vocals and rhythm. I love the original, but I needed to record a solo version. I wrote the track in 2010 about my own turbulent journey.

Love Peace & Music
