First, I am based in Chicago AND Door County.
This Youtube channel is the primary "performance space" for me. These videos are performances for YOU. Music is like love; it has to be shared to be relevant! Yes, I play gigs in clubs and concert halls, but this is how I reach out to the world. I hope you can find something here to lift your spirits.
While I have socio-political views, I keep them separate from my music. In a country/world so fraught with division, I hope my little island of music can be unifying and peaceful.
There are things driving my effort here.
1.) "What profit doeth the little bird ask that it may sing?" -- Johaness Kepler
2.) "If I Can Stop One Heart from Breaking"
By Emily Dickinson
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
