My upcoming gig at Kismat (which I scored by bring music to the local commuting community in the morning on a daily basis) has me thrilled. I'm putting a new band together, the set up I've always wanted, and closer to realizing my ultimate creative vision to have my work interpreted in exactly the way I envisioned it.

I almost have a full album worth of new ballads

When Covid arrived, I decided to teach myself guitar playing along to Blues Radio (I am mostly self-taught on all instruments I still play).

Since then, I have played in my neighborhood park (sunsets during the week) as well as Central Park (early mornings and afternoons), along to stems of my music. This has proven to be quite popular, and feedback has been extremely positive bringing me joy.

I plan to keep doing it, as it has proven quite useful to test new material which I'm excited to release in the near future. 

I love NY! Union Square I thought for a minute had lost its character because of all the money that flooded the area. How wrong I was! I performed on the steps facing 14th street and had a blast. This city is so vibrant and colorful, even Giuliani couldn't take that away.

Uptown has these cool cavernous stations, perfect natural echo and great for acoustic guitar.

Staff at Columbia/Presbyterian was outstanding

got hit by a car while biking; luckily no broken bones, just sprains.

made me realize how important my body is to making music

We will

...what a blast

I can't believe the momentum I'm having creating...

I'm going through an extremely creative period right now, highly unexpected. In what could have taken me 10 years and not produced the results, took 1 month of unplanned action. Just goes to show how far improvisation and not planning can go.
