About

My interest is in songs: writing songs, playing songs, singing songs. We’re lucky to be alive at a time when hundreds of unbelievably great songs have been written. Too often, the entertainment business turns music into a contest about the performer, but I’ve always thought that the song was more important. To me, high praise of a performer is when they say that he/she served the song, and didn’t draw attention to him/herself.

Playing music, making up songs, and recording them with today’s software is a tremendous amount of fun, which is a good enough reason for anyone to try it. You certainly don’t have to be in the music business to make music. You don’t even have to be a musician, for that matter.

“Art is not a horse race” – Pete Seeger, from here

“… our technology and our economic system seem to produce the present bad situation: millions of people feel themselves poor and powerless; millions feel that music is something to be made only by experts.” – also Pete Seeger, from here
