Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in the magic will never find it. ~Roald Dahl

About me: Music rules my world -- especially live shows. There is nothing like standing in front of the stage, grooving to your favorite band, letting the music wash over you, through you, deep into your soul!
Who I'd like to meet: YOU! Over coffee, at Starbucks..... 8-ish?
Dear Sue, It's after Halloween and the busy holidays are approaching. Take a break and drop by to listen to my featured songs. You may find my music to be just the calm you need during this hectic time of the year. I appreciate your friendship and I hope you enjoy the music. I wish you much joy and peace.
Mark Dignam has been bumping into Paul Luc and Ben Shannon a lot, at Treelady Studios, where they are all working, on their upcoming albums. They admire each others work so much, they decided to put together what promises to be, a mini singer/songwriter festival.. Watch for special guests and a very memorable night at The Rex Theater, 1602 East Carson Street. Pittsburgh, PA 15203. 8pm. $10.
I am about half way done with my latest update to my page. Come take a peek and listen to the first song from my up and comming cd. Right now the release date is in December.
A new feature I have added is you can now post your favorite song from my playlist to your profile.
My theme is fall, with the songs having a since of wanderlust. I hope that you enjoy my pictures and songs, and you will return to my page when it's completed.
