I studied Latin for six years in high school. It’s more than a 'dead language'—it’s the living root of every modern Romance language, the voice of ancient wisdom, and the key to understanding how we speak, think, and express today. Latin teaches precision, beauty, and a deep connection to history. Glad I took the time to learn it

🐻🎻   "Bear in My Yard" — banjo & fiddle frenzy, gritty vocals, hilarious bear chase story! 

[Verse]
There's a bear in my yard he's got my pie
Sniffin' the air with a glint in his eye
I holler out loud but he don't care
That's my dessert and he's takin' his share

[Chorus]
Oh run run he's comin' my way
Fur flyin' wild like a Saturday play
Climbin' the fence with a jar of my jam
A bear in my yard and I'm in a jam

[Verse 2]
He’s dancin' round like he owns the place
Fiddle in hand he’s keepin' the pace
Kicks up dirt with his big ol' feet
Eatin' my biscuits like a sneaky cheat

[Chorus]
Oh run run he's comin' my way
Fur flyin' wild like a Saturday play
Climbin' the fence with a jar of my jam
A bear in my yard and I'm in a jam

[Bridge]
I grab my banjo and pick real fast
Hoping that bear won’t make my food his last
He stops and stares like he's caught in a spell
Then he starts dancin' to the rhythm I tell

[Verse 3]
Now we're two-step dancin' under the moon
The bear's got moves he's hummin' a tune
Neighbors all gather to see the sight
Me and a bear havin' a hoedown tonight

Bear in My Yard

Move-in Mayhem is my tongue-in-cheek tribute to one of the Pioneer Valley’s busiest and most colorful traditions: the annual UMass Amherst student move-in. Every late August, Route 9 and 116 overflow with cars packed to the brim, families juggling boxes, and students starting fresh adventures.

This song captures the traffic jams, the closed roads, the laughter, the stress—and the energy that comes when tens of thousands of new and returning students breathe life back into the Valley. From early check-ins to the official rush between August 27 and September 1, “Move-in Mayhem” tells the story in a playful, folksy way that locals will recognize instantly.

I recorded it with the spirit of community in mind: a mix of humor, observation, and a bit of empathy for everyone stuck in those long lines of cars. Whether you’re a student, a parent, or a Pioneer Valley resident bracing for the annual gridlock, this one’s for you.

Artificial Paradise — a high-energy techno journey into neon-lit soundscapes. Pulsing deep bass meets otherworldly soprano vocals, weaving harmony and intensity into a hypnotic, electrifying experience. Get lost in the synthetic glow, feel the heartbeat of the future, and surrender to the artificial paradise.
