When Charlie passed just over a year ago, I found myself compelled to pay homage to this inspired and inspiring being. I could feel a particular kind of kinship with him, and wish we had had more jams between us. His style of smoky, soulful vocals, and his jazzy-funky guitar taste made a lasting impression on me (along with his incorrigible, jesting nature). 

Here's to Zach--may the impact of his presence continue to ripple out into the world and inspire~

Here’s a loop version of this emerging song from back in February 2022. The lyrics came through the previous summer and now are sounded into being. It speaks to the nature of traveling—precious experiences and people to be cherished, loved and let go of.

I submitted this one to be featured in the audio section of RawPaw's magazine for a "dream" themed issue. Though I didn't make the submission deadline, I did get to make a song for it.

Dream

It Will Be Fine

Here's an improvisation aiming to capture the essence of "space" and "slowness" with words and music.
