At long last the CDs are in production with a shipping window of 10/08/26 to 10/15/26. I have set up the new album tracks for listening on the My Original Music page. I'm pleased with how the album turned out and very appreciative of all the time and energy Matt Miller put into my project. He really made the songs come alive! I was very fortunate to be able to work with Matt. He added his own musical talents to many of the tracks with bass guitar, mandolin, electric guitar, trumpet, synthetic cello and…

This second album, Child of the 60’s, has taken much longer than Matt Miller and I expected. We began working on it in early 2025 and originally thought the studio work would be finished by the end of June that year. Then we hoped for the end of 2025. Then I set my sights on finishing by my birthday near the end of March 2026. As often happens with creative work, the timing had other ideas.

Today is April 19, 2026. Last Thursday night, Dennis Flink made it to the studio and recorded the long-awaited lead…

A simple path for older creatives, returning musicians, and anyone who wants to begin without pressure.

Many people do not avoid sharing their music because they lack passion or talent. They avoid it because the process feels overwhelming.

There are so many possible steps. Recording. Websites. Videos. Email lists. Social media. Streaming platforms. Graphics. Promotion. Technology. It can begin to feel as if you need to build an entire small business before you are allowed to share one song.

You do not.

You…

A gentle answer for older creatives, returning musicians, and anyone who still feels called to be heard.

Many people carry music inside them for years before they begin sharing it. Life gets busy. Confidence fades. Time passes. Technology changes. And at some point, a painful question can begin to rise: Is it too late to start sharing my music?

My answer is simple.

No, it isn’t too late.

It may feel late. It may feel awkward. You may feel vulnerable. But that does not mean the opportunity has passed. In many…

Happy Easter! I've been busy this last month or so working on my YouTube channel. I created four playlists and assigned videos to the appropriate playlist then updated all my titles and descriptions to bring more consistency to my listings. 

The four playlists are as follows: 

1. Songwriter's Chair - I give a description of how the song came to be and play a bit of it
2. Songs from the Music Room - live performances I record in my music room
3. Studio Diary - any video clips from time spent in the studio for a song
4. …

Hello and welcome. These last two weeks have seen a tremendous improvement in my YouTube channel appearance and overall plan. I learned the value of creating playlists and tagging song videos appropriately for the playlists. I now have four playlists: Songwriter's Chair - where I talk about the origin of the song and play a bit of it; Live Performance - performances that have been captured on video in front of an audience; Studio Diary - this includes any video or images taken while recording in the studio…

Last night was a great experience at The New Berlin Conservatory of Music studio. I was well prepared to record a harmonica part for this song and Matt Miller, my producer, liked it and helped me do more than I had originally intended. 

A forty-minute video was captured of some of the recording and I posted a super short clip online today showing me and Matt in the studio environment. I was in the amazing room with great acoustics and Matt was in the control booth. The video is filmed from inside the control…

Tomorrow night I will record a harmonica part for a song on the second album called “Just Go to Hell”. I have never played harmonica before, so it’s a new experience - challenging, but rewarding. I think I have a good part in mind and hope that my producer also likes it. 

When I started this website in January 2025, I didn't really know where I was going with it. The whole idea was to put my music online so that anyone could hear it and hopefully enjoy. Numbers have improved for site visitors and music…
