a Winter note
Hi Folks,
For those of you that have been emailing me, thank you for your kind words!
Making a living off of music and art is a trying task, and comments like yours let me know that what I'm doing is touching the souls of folks, which is the most important thing in my opinion.
For those of you that asked, my music can be purchased here at CD Baby.

I just added a new song on Number One Music, High River Blues. I set the perimeters to streaming/download, so if you'd like to load it on your iPod go ahead. This song was featured here in Grand Rapids Michigan as an entry in a large Art contest called ArtPrize. There's a musical division as well. ArtPrize is the largest Art contest of it's kind on the planet! http://www.artprize.org/
I also produce and host a large environmentally themed music festival, free to the public, called the Grand River Water Festival. This year was my 6th year. It's a festival designed to educate the public about water quality and environmental issues, all while entertaining them with some of the best folk, old time, blues, bluegrass, singer/songwriter music to be found in Michigan. The City of Grand Rapids sponsors this event, as does a number of private donors, and this year we attracted about 3,000 folks. Food, earth friendly goods, large Kid's Creative Area, etc. check it out! www.grandriverwaterfestival.org
Have a fine winter!
