About Me

ok ok I give up! everyone has been harassing me because I never did anything with this site...so here I am. I love music. and I love life. and I love coffee and yoga. The order of those passions varies, depending on the day. I can't get through my day without coffee and music, so there you have it.The update is that I'm still playing lots of classical gigs and teaching up a storm, but I've recently crossed over to the dark side, as Michael Daves so aptly described a few weeks back...so please check out any/all of my projects:Artemis Chamber Ensemble: Classical but hip, baby!Pork Chop Willie: I think the name says it all, but in addition to making you really really hungry for some bbq, we'll give you an earful of blues music from the Mississippi Hill Country! (Man I'm grateful for that whole spelling pneumonic from 3rd grade...)Boy in the Shade: For the kiddies and 'rents to share! This children's band is full of energy, silliness, and lots of fun vocal harmonies.
