July-August
How the summer is flying by. It is a whirlwind of days spent supposedly trying to relax and rejuvenate. If only we could just take a breath, inhale the aroma of some wonderful fragrance, and sigh out with pleasure as we gaze at a beautiful sunset or scene. Make a pact with yourself to do that for a length of time this summer--before it escapes into Autumn. You won't regret it. What's more important than taking a little time for yourself to be 'in this moment' rather than in the future or the past? What's more important than truly 'being' with those you love--rather than texting someone, calling someone on the cell phone--while you're having dinner with someone right across the table? Be--truly 'be'...rather than 'do' this summer--if only for a little while. We're called human 'beings' not human 'doings' for a reason!

Moved by God & other CDs --$10.00 special price for the new decade!
To help make it easier for everyone to purchase a CD or more-- I would like to continue to make all of my CDs available for just $10. Visit the CD page and have a listen to some of the song samples--especially the newest Moved by God, and the Christmas CD Come to the Stable. I now have 7 CDs in my little 'family' of albums. I still have cassettes of some of the albums as well. Most people don't use cassettes anymore--but we carry them just in case. At most of my concerts, we simply make them available as part of their CD purchase--a little extra gift.
This is a special limited time offer--so don't delay. Get 'em while they last!

ATHE Conference 2010 I'll be assisting Arthur Lessac in presenting a 6 hour introductory workshop at the beginning of August at the ATHE conference in LA August 2-3. Arthur is now almost 101 and is still going strong. I want to BE him when I grow up! He will be leading the workshop, with Deb Kinghorn and myself co-leading various segments and several of our certified trainers helping out as well. Should be lots of fun for us and for all the participants. It's not everyday that you get the opportunity to spend some time experiencing this wonderful voice & body training with the master who created it! |  Arthur and I at the 2007 Lessac Summer Intensive workshop at DePauw University in Greencastle, IN |
Theatre News
I'll be starting rehearsals as dialect coach in September for two shows at the same time: Misalliance by G.B. Shaw at the Olney Theatre Center, directed by Jack Going; and Two by J.M. Barrie at Rep Stage in Columbia, MD. directed by Michael Stebbins. I'll be very busy keeping up with both productions, it'll be a challenge just to remember which accent I'm working on with so many actors and dialects. But I think it will be very rewarding. Stay tuned. Bot hshows open the week of October 4th.
Concert experiment
Again, in light of the economy these days, I would like to try an experiment.
In the past, most churches and such venues expected to pay a set price for a concert of my music. I have always tried to make all my concerts affordable, but even so, sometimes it's just not in the budget anymore to bring in someone or some event that might enhance the life of the faith community. Well, how about sharing a concert for a 'free-will' offering by those attending? In this way, the church itself would not be bearing any burden for bringing something potentially exciting, rewarding and spiritually uplifting to parishioners. If this is something your church or faith community would entertain, just email me, or call me we'll discuss the possibility. My main goal has always been to share the music that God has given me to write, perform and record. That's the bottom line. So...what are we waiting for?
