I appreciate that you’re taking the time to stop by. I plan to make it worth your while. My effort to re-design and update this website has taken a while.<\/p>

During the process it has grown considerably, but a lot’s going on right now.<\/p>

A good place to start would be stuff that’s highlighted below.<\/p>

The NavBar at the top will take you everywhere else.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Now that I’ve relocated to the Pacific Northwest (Eugene, OR), I’m enjoying a fresh start of sorts.<\/p>

My repertoire is getting a complete upgrade; lots of new tunes and expanded arrangements.<\/p>

I’m looking to launch this project in 2026, if I can find enough interest.<\/p>

ARTWORK will be an evolving group of musicians who choose to get together to play and record original pieces and arrangements.<\/p>

Anyone will have an opportunity to make whatever contribution they care to. Students especially will have an open invitation, in a comfortable, no-pressure atmosphere, to gain experience and network with other players.<\/p>

In the past four or five years, I’ve re-discovered my nylon string\/classical guitar.
The one I play –\u00a0a Yamaha CN-525E\u00a0– is not a traditional instrument; it’s thinner in the body, has got a cutaway and a nice built-in pick up, making it so I can amplify it without losing that nylon string tone.
And I’ve written a bunch of arrangements, tunes from pop and jazz standards, for that style of playing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Inspired by the Blue Ridge Mountains

As an adult, I’ve found myself drawn to the mountains and I’m fortunate to be pretty close to the western part of Virginia.

A Home Concert<\/strong> is an intimate and unique experience where you host a soloist, a duo, or a small group in your home. They play for you and your invited guests for as long as you want.<\/p>

Plus, your favorite charity<\/strong> is supported by the event.\u00a0<\/p>

You decide the ticket price your guests pay with all proceeds split three ways between you (as the host), the players, and the charity. It’s a Win\/Win\/Win!<\/p>
