  • Grace, Goosebumps and Gabriel’s Oboe

    Grace, Goosebumps and Gabriel’s Oboe

    Kirstin and I are wearing a lot of hats these days. We juggle the behind-the-scenes work for our next album—fundraising, planning, practicing—all on top of performing. But on Sunday, it was a gift to simply wear our music hats again. We’ve been working on a new arrangement of Gabriel’s Oboe, and I have to say……

  • Do You Trust Me? The Question That Stopped Me in My Tracks

    Do You Trust Me? The Question That Stopped Me in My Tracks

    My workplace was closing due to a Weis takeover. I had a choice to make. In the quiet moments, I felt an undeniable pull to let go of the job. Although we were invited to interview for positions with the new store, I had that feeling—you know, the one in the pit of your stomach…

  • Our Story in 60 Seconds

    I still can’t seem to get my story down to 30 seconds. And actually, since I’m climbing Mt. Everest with another musical colleague, it’s not really my story anyway. It’s ‘our’ story.

On his weekly podcast, he would answer questions that listeners submitted to his “ask Dan” email address. Instead of asking Dan, I’m starting my blog with…

  • Kindling Stories: From ‘Genius’ Inspiration to BookThinkers Unboxing to Starbucks on Chocolate Avenue

    Recently, my husband and I were engrossed in the movie “Genius,” a captivating biographical drama released in 2016. Directed by Michael Grandage and written by John Logan, the film draws inspiration from the compelling biography “Max Perkins: Editor of Genius” by A. Scott Berg, which earned the National Book Award in 1978. Set against the…

  • The Art of Talking to Anyone.

    This morning I was up at 3:45 AM. Although this is my normal wakeup time, I don’t always get up quite so early. But these days I have a lot to do and I’ll be away from my studio all day today so I decided I better get an early start. I’ve been listening to…

    Scaling Musical Peaks: New Book and Double Keyed’s Everest-like Journey to a New Christmas Album

    In December 2023, as part of the joy and celebration of my 10th-year Portraits of White Celebration Concerts, I had the privilege of sharing some incredibly exciting news with all of you. If you were there, you might remember that I announced not one, but two significant endeavors. I am SO excited to announce the…
