THANK YOU so much for your continued and generous support - if you are so moved, here are easy one-time or recurring donation options (including check by mail) all at this link.
I'm glad you are here, and I hope my words and music bring you a little comfort and entertainment in these troubled times.
Of course there is music here - stream any song from any CD or download, watch concert videos, and even read lyrics. If words are what you enjoy, there are Essays and shorter Blog posts, plus some of my poems as well. And of course, lots of tools to make the work of presenters, publicists and journalists as easy as possible. Have you ever been to a house concert? Please let me know if you can't find what you need.
If you like what you hear and see, please tell someone! There is no big entertainment conglomerate running this operation. For over 25 years now I've managed to coax a livelihood out of this life in music largely by word of mouth, hopefully by bringing my very best work to the stage and studio every time. I'm grateful to each and every person who has taken the time to turn others on to my work, or helped bring me to a stage or school in their community.
I'd welcome your support - the best way to stay in touch is to bypass the social media algorithms and subscribe to my monthly E-Zine (email newsletter) A Storytender's Journey, and download a collection of free songs just for signing up. Every page here is easily shareable by a variety of means. Here are some ways that you can join me, little and large.
Most of all, thanks for visiting!
