My heart is heavy as I watch the fires burn in LA; I just cancelled my personal retreat there, even though I was looking forward to my first time away from the kids in 7 years! Yet that same heart is tickled pink that my 13 year old, for the first time, without a hint, replaced a roll of...

Hey my friend,

Singing together and life have sooooo much in common. Both are dynamic and full of surprises. Let's look at how music helps us navigate life more harmoniously.

Human Beings are Musical Beings

We all love some kind of music. There has never been a culture that didn't know...

A few months ago I wrote my obituary. Not because I was sick or wanting to die, but because I gave some thought to how I'd like to be remembered when I'm long gong.

Here’s a question for you:

When I was 14, I had a single dream. I knew exactly what success in adulthood would look like.

And, dear reader, I found it!

For the last x years, I’ve been living that vision of success, leading people in song, helping connect my community through music, even taking my singers to Carnegie...
