the cool thing about Bandcamp Friday is that Bandcamp cuts their take of our sales on these Fridays; so i'm left w/more headroom to continue these releases.
thanks much for your attention, and i hope you enjoy and that the music edifies…

“I prefer to merge with chaos rather than fight it.” - @davidmtorn said this to me one day a minute ago. I wrote it on the wall above my piano. I spend real time with those words.
Mr. Torn and I recorded this piece at my favorite place on Earth - Sun Mountain Studios w/ @davidofbaron
This piece came to mind when I took this picture a few minutes ago in a daydream. 🪐🎵
