I started writing songs in treatment.  35 days in a trauma-treatment center after the amazing life I had built collapsed around me.  I had played guitar for years but never dared write my own songs.  All of a sudden, lyrics came pouring out. 

 

My guitar and the expression of these songs saved my life. So did the artistic expressions of others. Music, film, stage, poetry -- all the artistic expressions burrowed their way into my heart and and kept it beating.

 

If you've lived a life and are wondering what's next in that life, yeah -- I get it.  This journey is always an out and back journey.  A return as we try and come back to who we really are and maybe meeting that person for the first time. Somehow, that's my story.

​

We keep going.  I've somehow managed to.  So can you.  If this music helps along the way in any way -- well, that is what it's for.

​

Peace,
