Greetings and Salutations fellow music lovers and musicians of all kinds.
I hope the days find you all well through these difficult and often lonely times, A sure high five to the folks on the front lines, and all the workers out there making sure we all have food on the table and a warm place to go to the bathroom! Yes, toilet paper is available out there, kudos to the managers of the stores putting a limit on quantity to ensure everyone has what they need.
The production and studio workplace has not been accessible for proper use due to lock-down and things beyond my control, Lord knows how much I want to get back to my music and creativity. I eke out whatever practice time I can find to be sure! I think we all are feeling the pains of the world right now, how could we not as compassionate people?
I truly hope at least some of you are with someone you love very much and can enjoy your time together. Let's all hang in there and be safe, we can make it through this.
Sending Love and prayers to all...

I hope the Spirit sees you all well. Social distancing doesn't mean we don't need each other. Here are a few more songs for you. Although I am primarily known for my prowess as a Guitar player (not to worry, the archives are full and more all the time), there is another side not as well known. My time spent on the keyboards. The "Nature Sessions" were all done in real-time, live. You are hearing the point of creation, not perfect, just honest and from the heart and Spirit that flows through my soul. I used a mic placed outside for nature sounds heard in the background. The "Nature Sessions" also represent true Solitude, the connection to all things, never really alone, as in Loneliness where the longing for companionship and love comes forth. Thank you so much for listening, may the Spirit keep you all safe and well always...

About Shorthand
What is a guy like me doing in a place like this, you ask. In the service of the Lord sometimes we end up in a place where there is the endless feeling of being an outsider. Seemingly so different from the majority of the so-called "norm". Music was with me from a very young age, a passion that just kept growing over the years. Although I have lived in many different places and cultures, the music always brought me together with like-minded people. The universal language with no barriers, just pure connection. Now deep in the wilderness, (almost) I have just my little studio and the wonderful nature and my feathered and furry animal friends. Yes. some good neighbors too. I had left my musical career temporarily to take care of my Mom in her last years before she was called home. Honor before self-interest, it is the way of my people. Kind, gentle, and honest is all I know to be to all things. As a Warrior of the Rainbow, I hold a deep responsibility to protect all that is good against any forces of evil that may try to interfere with the Lord's purity of life and this planet. Yet through all these things, the part missing is man's greater half, a woman to love, honor, respect, protect and show her every moment how much I love her. I have only known one or two in my life. The chemistry was awesome, however, the depth of my mind could not be understood and ultimately lead to the failure of a good romance. Oh my! Covid not helping much, making it even harder to meet someone or new people. So many music venues have closed due to the pandemic. TMI? Well "that's my story and I'm sticking to it" to quote a country song...
