Today's Featured Music
Carla Sings Us A Lullaby is dedicated to Carla Bley, one of my favorite composers. It is an unusual lullaby in how its underlying feeling is a bossa nova. Recorded by Amy Leonard, violin; Jeff Knoettner, piano; E. Shawn Qaissaunee, guitar; and Peter McCarthy, bass.

Maryland and West Virginia
Nancy and I divide our time between Olney, Maryland and Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. This area, with the Appalachian Mountains and Chesapeake Bay, is a deep source of inspiration for my music. The Morgan County page has a sample of my WV projects, links to some of our creative friends in the Berkeley Springs area, and a video about our farmhouse.
