For most of my life, I have been "in" music. This is a scrapbook of work that spans time and context. Some of it is solo, some collaborative, representing everything from straight ahead popular music to experimental and downright weird stuff. Some are mere sketches, others more developed pieces. All are attempts to capture the kind of magic only music allows. Please enjoy
