Silence: My friends variously tell me to keep quiet and to boisterously express Both my fear and my anxious, soapbox warnings. If I could speak and keep passionate positivity in the foreground I would speak. But silence is the better part for me. To say what I believe would be to alienate half the population […]
Repeat My sixth singer-songwriter release is “Love Is On Repeat”. After several delays, I’m really happy to be offering this song for your listening enjoyment. In the same way, I’m overjoyed to share this story about my current life. Unlike the previous five songs, this one was written this year. If you can’t wait, the video
