My first studio album is on iTunes! Overwhelmed putting these together, some written nearly 15 years ago, for this first of three collections of 14 songs spanning an entire life from birth to after death.

These first 14 were written over the past 15 years from morbid sleepless moments, uncertainties reaching adulthood, and seeing both the innocent wonder of children at my teaching job as well as the endless lonely trials elderly deal with during my nursing home visits.

I'm thankful to finally reach a place I feel confident with myself to share these works that are both quite personal and curiously new since in my desperate depression I do not recall at all writing any but 1 of these.

Makes for a sublime time pushing back into my worst memories to sort out where these songs came and what they were made from. I think most of us high functioning dark minds either resort to violence or creation. Very thankful to see myself looking towards the later in my life.

The best Philly cheesesteak to ask for! Dropped into Prohibition on MLK Day, found a fantastic pub with excellent drafts, tasty menu, and relaxed atmosphere.

i have been working on my first fully original full length album releasing this summer! this will be a collection of 14 works crafted for piano solo over the past decade playing on the themes of aging, uncertainty, loneliness, loss, and even well into my 30s now finding no words but music to express exactly what has been messing with my mind from my youth up until now.
