Remembering what is truly important... "Out the Window" is a song I wrote many years ago. I was inspired to upload it here after meeting the feisty and compassionate Deb Davis, a sea captain who fled her home on Hilton Head Island, SC just before Hurricane Matthew hit.

Rough Recordings

Out the Window

I wrote and recorded this song for my mother's 75th birthday. Growing up with the unwavering love and support of a nurturing mother has given me a strength and belief that it is possible to overcome life's challenges.

Note: This is not a professional recording - It was done on my Tascam portable DP-02. 

Journey of a Lifetime

This is the title track on my cd., "Halfway Home."  recorded in 1996. I affectionately refer to it as my "midlife crisis song."  I was precocious.

Halfway Home

The title is fairly self explanatory. Particularly fun to listen to while cleaning your house in preparation for a family visit.

Play Nice for the Relatives

Motivated by this realization: I am  the one person I am stuck with for life. Better get good with that. To build on that theme, I chose to sing this with four more of "me."

Be With Me

This is a song I wrote many years ago. It is a reminder to look at ourselves with less judgement, see beauty and accept whatever we feel are our "imperfections".  

When I was touring with The Dressing Room Project, I used to play this song at positive body image workshops for teen girls and it was always well received. For more information visit http://www.thedressingroomproject.org

The recording was done in a professional studio, but it is still a rough mix, with no added embellishments, harmonies or additional instruments. I hope you enjoy it and "get" the message. 

Holes in the Lace

For my dear Mary who made the Great Transition at age 100. We met when she was 99 years young and had many mini adventures together... swings at the park, petting a possum, getting matching henna tattoos (Super Mario - her choice. Go figure!)She was up for everything except riding a Ferris wheel. For the full synchronistic story of how we met and a short video go here.  https://youtu.be/uzUgwdpkPyQ
