Hello friends,<\/p>\n

I have been enjoying our rustic little cabin in the Monadnock region of New Hampshire. Now as autumn approaches, it is time to put on my work duds and do some long overdue maintenance before the snow flies. But there is always time to take a break and sing about it! Join me for a reprise of an old song I wrote about glazing windows. <\/p>\n

After a very long hiatus, I performed in several live shows this month. Currently I am limiting my live shows to outdoors only, with COVID restrictions in place. My next one is Sunday, Sept. 26th at The Virginia Thurston Healing Garden<\/a> in Harvard, MA. This is a free concert (optional donations accepted) for this wonderful cancer support center. This is a hybrid show with options to attend live or view it online. Click for details<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are a few more shows in the planning stage. Stay tuned to my Upcoming Shows<\/a> page to keep up to date.<\/p>\n

My new album “Apples & Cheese<\/a>” released earlier this year is a collection of “new and used songs for kids and their grownups.” Included on this album are original songs written for each of my grandchildren (ages 1 to 13) plus a few traditional songs that are fun to sing by folks of all ages. It was recorded while in lock-down as a way for my family to feel connected. If you know of someone who might enjoy this fun album, please share this link<\/a>. It is also available on all major streaming services.<\/p>\n

In July, Margo and I took advantage of good virus numbers to spend three weeks with three of our grandchildren in Zurich, Switzerland! It was the very first time meeting our 13 month old twin granddaughters, as COVID prevented travel all last year. It was great to sing some songs from “Apples & Cheese” live to those kids – and I didn’t have to teach them the words!<\/p>\n
