Beautiful Baja Blues

Hi!  Can’t believe that I’ve had all of this alone time, her in Los Barriles and haven’t been writing to you……Maybe it’s because I’ve been learning something about myself and my music. …. You know, I ache for unlimited time to spend on my music.  Not to take away from the truly most important things […]

Music for Harriet’s party

It was Harriet’s birthday today.  She and her husband, Ben, live in Buena Vista, Baja and are very special people.  She is the one whose name is on the Gospel CD, where I’m thanking people for different things.   She is a dear friend, and for some reason I have found such encouragement from her […]

Time for my music

Hi again, I played at a variety show in Ridgeway, last night.  There is a theater, there, run by Andras and Shannon, called The Sherbino(hopefully, I spelled that correctly).  It’s a wonderful, warm and loving place and it was the perfect place for sharing my music with an accepting audience.  It was a celebration for […]

Will pigs fly????

Hi! Well, I’ve put off my flight to Mexico until tomorrow.  Hopefully, there won’t be any piggies on my flights.  I keep going back and forth on whether it’s wise to go or not……with many people pulling in each direction and such sensationalized news reports on what seems to be similar to a common flu […]

Latin Rhythms

It’s Sunday and I can’t imagine a more perfect day! As I write, I’m listening to Andrea Bocelli’s serenade of “Besame Mucho”.    Ahhhhhh what a wonderful momentary escape.  His voice is like butter.  I’m learning “Besame Mucho” for my show at Otra Vez in Los Barriles on May 8th. I’ve always loved thissong, but didn’t […]

Music and memories…..

Hi! I’ve had a very musical and memory packed day.  A nice person that I knew years ago, Larry, has encouraged me and my music and contacted me after years of not knowing each other, at all.  It’s always such a nice surprise when someone from so many years ago actually remembers me……I mean…….be honest, […]

Thoughts about learning

You know, years ago, when I was young and not so bright…….I thought that somehow I had arrived……that I was good……at least good enough……or at least as good as I was going to get….I was better than most of the people that I was around.  But, that wasn’t saying much because I tended to play […]

How do I…

make myself stop writing…….from being pulled into new and interesting sounds……..turn away from unplanned inspiration………….so that I can have the time to perfect the compositions that I’ve already written and get them recorded!??  I like to write things that don’t sound like anything else that I’ve written before and for THIS reason, learning them after […]

Easter Sunday ramblings….

Hi again, I hope that your day is filled with hopeful time with people you love.  I’m happy that you’re able to check in a read.  Be sure to be in touch……. We started the day with the traditional excitement of egg hunting…….children running from room to room with the undeniable sounds of running feet […]

Hang in There

After my post from yesterday, I have spoken with some of my friends……friends that are dealing with things that are much more serious than my trivial problems.   You know who you are and what you’re facing………You are in my prayers and I truly wish only the strongest and most loving wishes to come your way.
