Stuff I’m doing right now includes…

The “now” happening list

Planning for my first-ever full-length concert of live improvised piano. This is to celebrate our freedoms in the USA and raise awareness of how they have been taken away. Visit Fall Of Freedom to learn more. The concert will be live-streamed for those of you who won’t be in Trumansburg, New York on November 21.
Spotify says that only 20-90 people listen to my music on their platform. That’s massively below any other platform. I’m considering withdrawing my tracks from Spotify for a variety of reasons, so please let me know if you are listening to my tracks on Spotify. For even a handful of beautiful people like you, I would keep my songs and compositions available.
Composing, songwriting, arranging, piano, and singing. There are always new tracks in the works. Join my VIP subscription to keep up-to-date and receive exclusive content.
My current project is a folk song album. Here’s a video playlist with the preview songs from that project.
To hear some of my 100+ releases, please visit my music page and now my full release list!
Offering you custom songs to give to someone you love: PresentSongs. Everyone who has one of these songs is so happy with the results! I can’t share most of them publicly because they are such an intimate present just for the recipient. Is there someone you care about who could use the boost of a song created as a beautiful sonic picture of their life? Get your PresentSong here.
Working from home on my I.T. day job, my music projects, and my weekly Sunday morning gig. And don’t let that “one day a week” thing fool you. It’s almost a half-time job — occasionally more or less.
Seeking avenues to hope, peace, community, love, and kindness. Pondering how to connect my musical/improvisational arts with those avenues in our world that needs them so much. Click here to read my artist’s mission statement.
Writing blog posts of poetry, the unsigned music business, digital recording, creative process, and more (currently averaging one per week). Contact me if there’s something you’d like me to write a guest post about. Occasionally, I accept these, but they have a specific set of requirements.
In support of other unsigned musicians, I’ve started a series (approximately monthly) of posts reviewing one of their releases.
Due to my rather full schedule, I am currently only accepting live gig requests for close to my heart charity events or ceremonies. Contact me to see if this match for your gig. If you are event/entertainment coordinator for a venue, please visit my Press Kit and contact pages. I perform sets of cover songs, jazz/Broadway standards, original songs, or all instrumental — solo or ensemble. Upcoming public gigs I’m playing or promoting are just below this numbered list.
Naturally, I continue to promote my own music, mostly instrumental compositions and improvisations. I’m really proud of my music page and my individual release pages. Please stream/listen, enjoy and share!
Working out and hiking (for exercise and inspiration). Self-care is critical to us all. Please be safe and care about those you love.
Updating my VIPs and newsletter subscribers, often with exclusive behind-the-scenes music, stories, and videos.
Staying engaged on social media channels. I hope you’ll friend me on your favorites.
Caring for my wife, our relationship, our beautiful home, our dog, and myself. (Lack of self-care means none of these other things can happen well.)
Sharing my friends’ awesome music.
Any upcoming public gigs will be listed here. Even when you see nothing below, I have upcoming private gigs (a weekly gig, private weddings, and corporate events).

What does this mean?

If you ask me to do something else, I may say “no” and show you this page.
