Hello Music Lover!

"A great deal of talent is lost to the world for want of a little courage."
-- Sydney Smith, English Clergyman

"When you feel global doubt about your talent, that IS your talent. People who have no talent don't have any doubt."
-- Richard Bausch, from "Off The Page: Writers Talk About Beginnings, Endings and Everything In Between"
 
2008 is here and time is flying! Grab all your doubt in one fist, all your fear in the other, and start fighting for your life. Fight for fulfillment. Fight for passion. Fight for a life you love. Your talent is your gift to the world. Don't hold back. Make your dreams come true. You can do it! I'm right here in the ring next to you with sweat on my brow and a grin on my face.

Once I dreamed of a life near the ocean and here I am!  This winter I get to do a lot of playing close to home on the Coastside near Half Moon Bay, California. Not only am I lucky enough to have amazing musicians performing with my own trio, but I also get to work with two of my favorite vocalists.  Come have some fun with me and my friends in my own backyard!

P.S.  Are you so resigned that all this "Rah rah!" pep talk stuff just makes you YAWN? "Worried about being a dull fellow? You might develop your talent for being irritating."  -- Mason Cooley, American writer. Just for you, I'll act real irritated if you click the link below to remove yourself from this list. Go for it!
