I find myself with my lack of newsletters apologizing for the lack of communication.  I've been off my game for a while, though I do have some updates on what's been happening with me regarding music and non-music things related…

The year is flying by for me.  Usually they say that's because you're having fun, but this year hasn't been entirely fun with sick pets, broken HVACs, and a mortgage escrow company who messed things up.  But I won't get…

It's around this time of year where things begin to pick up and the dull of the winter fades away.  This spring I'm taking a month off from playing gigs.  Why?  I'll tell you below.  St Patrick's Day is also…

Hello and greetings from Charlottesville!  It has been quite a few months since I last wrote, and I am doing great down in the new digs and in my new home with my wife.  In fact, here's some photos below…

I'd like to start the spring newsletter off by thanking everyone who responded to my news that I'm moving out of the Washington, DC area in a couple months.  While it is sad in some ways, it's nice to have…

It's summer and I've written this and edited this in my head too many times I can recall, but the words are hitting the page in mid-November.  It starts off like this:

"Everyone leaves DC one day," is…

To all my music supporters, 

I left my last newsletter on the note that there was going to be big news I'd share in coming weeks and I am ready to tell you about it.  I am moving out…

Right now I am writing during a cold and slow time of the year.  I think I've concluded I don't enjoy winter all that much (except when skiing).  The early darkness initially gives me a slight depression and the cold…

Finally it's officially starting to feel like fall and leaves are just starting to change over in the DC area.  Summer used to be my favorite season, but these days it's fall--my body just can't take the heat anymore.  It's…

I've been writing this newsletter for almost 8 years now and there's been so much that's happened between now and then.  My focus initially as an artist was on original music and while I still believe in my heart that…

As the year has begun, here in DC there's plenty to talk about with Trump in office (but I won't get into that) and this winter's weather has been consistently inconsistent.  As I look at the snow outside, it was…

I am back to doing my newsletter quarterly, which is less writing for me and less reading for you!  All is well here, though as many would say 2016 has been a bad year for most of us--from deaths of…

Everyday, I wake up, roll out of bed and get going on my to do list.  It includes personal things as well as more and more music related stuff.  For the last two years, I've never been so busy that…

Let's hope spring has finally arrived!  It's going to get up into the 70s this week, which always changes my mood from low energy to much higher.  This month is always super busy for me and below is this year's…

We're on day 4 of many of us being stuck in from a storm they called "Snowzilla" (or Jonas) here in the DC area.  Where I live we got around 20" of snow, but parts to the west got around…

It's hard to assess a year as an active musician.  On the one hand, I can call this year a success.  I played more shows.  I made more money.  I was so busy that I had to turn down more…
