James Smith may be dead, but his music will live on…
Early Friday morning James slipped away with the angels, daughter Adrian by his side. They were listening to music, of course, Morten Lauridsen’s “Lux Aeterna”. About a week ago, his dear friend Endre Balogh visited and played him several movements of Unaccompanied Bach, “Dirait-On”, and “Danny Boy” (which he always “plays to summon the Angels”). […]
Listen to Caballo Viejo–rough
I haven’t written for a while. Just entirely too busy with the living to describe it, I guess. I’ve been running over to Denver, 280 miles, to record with Jim Ratts at Raven Recording, the past couple of weeks. First, it was coming too easily. Jim thought what I was doing was fine. But, I […]

I have no reins over these waves of insistence that come from inside of my head, my heart, my soul… The latest […]

Endre Balogh and James Smith critique Lazy River
Well, it’s been that time of year, again…a time of playing hours every day, scrambling to please the professors at the masters classes at Mesa State University. James and Endre come once a year. It’s always nerve racking because I feel like a child hoping for approval, but yearning to do better so needing the […]

We spent the afternoon bouncing down the hard and icy snow slopes near Ward Lake on the Grand Mesa. We live at the foot of Grand Mesa, beyond the foot hills that are called the Dobies. Our home is about 5,500 feet, where the weather is warm and sunny. The top of the Mesa is […]
