Kurt has been banging on the guitar ever since the 7th grade, when he was given a $25 “Hector” Spanish guitar from Nogales, Mexico. That same year his ears were opened to the sound of country folk music when, in the mountains south of Williams, Arizona, Linda Ronstadt singing “Long, Long Time” came on the radio. An appreciation for the simple elegance of voice and acoustic guitar was forever imprinted in his mind. That and the power of song to move people.
Now living in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the cosmic center of the folk music universe, he writes songs and plays whenever and wherever he can.

It is a great day to be alive! What Question can I ask to empower myself and others? What new thought can I notice now to add to my creativity? How can I improve the experience of those I encounter today? What can I do to facilitate your Gift?
Yesterday Is History Tomorrow is a Mystery Today is a Gift... That's why we call it the Present
