• Sunday With Longfellow

  Goodness not quite a month ago was Thanksgiving Day. Though it does feel like a long month ago. On that very night on Great American Family the true story of Longfellow’s poem was debuted. Simply called “I Heard The Bells.” This moving film was broadcast with no commercials. This was also the day my parents…

• Forgetful

  This morning I plugged in my phone to get it a little more charged. It was just shy a few percentages of being completely full once more. I hate having it less than when I go to an appointment and don’t know how long I will be gone. So I didn’t predict this happening, but…

• Residual Musical Thoughts

  If you remember I had a lot on my mind a couple of days ago, Sunday morning. Music is my peaceful place and emotions can easily overflow. This is a photo my Uncle Tony made for me a long time ago. It is a sparrow. The photo was asked for specifically because of how the…

• Does Stress Have a Purpose?

  Maybe the word anxiousness is best used in this question. I know as a performer having butterflies meant that you were alert for the performance. Sometimes my butterflies were enormous. Several times though with God’s presence I had those performances that were pretty much perfect. I also had some screw-ups, but I always finished the…

• How in the World…

  Life seemed black and white to me even back in the 80’s when I was born. I never wondered who I was gender-wise. It was crystal clear to me there were two genders, men and women. There was a difference for women I remember who chose to be stay at home mothers and those who…

• Musical Memories

  The last time my family went to Branson we heard a really good singer. Unfortunately I can’t really remember all the specifics. This city has a good reputation of having good talent for the shows being performed in the various theaters. When I heard earlier this morning that Warren Buffet died my mind went to…
