My Bands:


I recently had the privilege of working on my good friend Robin Jame's new jazz album, HAVEN. We met a couple years ago at a local Indianapolis Pub. There are a LOT of talented people on HAVEN, and Robin used me as percussionist on 6 of the 13 tracks, and drummer on 2. He also let me do the cover design, and blessed me by asking if he could put an original painting on the back cover!

Please support Robin's music and pick up HAVEN. It's excellent. Click on the picture to jump to Robin's website. You can buy the album there, through CD Baby.

The two tracks on which I played both drums and percussion can be heard on the MP3 player on the left - "SRB" and "Vieques." Check them out.

Dear Friend,



I don't know who my grandfather was,

I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be.


- Abraham Lincoln




When I do good,

I feel good

when I do bad,

I feel bad,

and that is my religion.


- Abraham Lincoln



Whatever you are,

be a good one.


- Abraham Lincoln




To a heart filled with gratitude and to lightening the burden of another.

To a dear friend,



It is better to sleep on things beforehand

than to

lie awake thinking about them afterwards.

~Baltasar Gracian


Think of your faults…

the first part of the night when you are awake,

and the faults of others…

the latter part of the night when you are asleep.

~Chinese Proverb


Nature gave men two ends -

one to sit on and

one to think with.

Ever since then

man's success or failure has

been dependent on the one he used most.

~George R.
Kirkpatrick




To the thinking end…



Love,
~Mrs.
York

Dear Friend,



The future is called "perhaps," which is the only possible thing to call the future.

And the only important thing is not to allow that to scare you.

~Tennessee Williams, Orpheus Descending, 1957





The past can't see you,

but the future is listening.

~Destin Figuier





Continuity gives us roots;

change gives us branches,

letting us stretch and grow and reach new heights.

~Pauline R.
Kezer





To energetic exploration with enthusiasm and engagement~
