I’ve been working on a number of songs lately, but they always seem to be birthed in threes. The 3 that come together don’t usually share a theme, and sometimes not even a melodic structure either. I’m not sure why they do this yet… though I have a hunch that they’re commenting on [...]
I met up with Carolyn Keyes on Sunday to see what kind of music we could create in one of the tunnels/underpasses by the Music Concourse next to the de Young museum (in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco)…
It was a bit cold and luckily I made it to the tunnel before it started raining [...]

worlds upon worlds in the cold and comforting earth
warm the light that leads you living large
songs of melodies made sweet and silent
to be the tickle in the steps of giants

Last night at the #whuffaoke party/techmob/booktour the whole @whuffaoke team had a big winnebego converted into karaoke machine. Down on 2nd street into the night, we sang, we danced. Here I am singing With A Little Help From My [...]

Add this to one of the places I want to go… a co-worker of mine went rafting down in the river that this valley feeds. Gorgeous!
