Career Reboot

I have regretfully decided, out of necessity, to take six months off from music to focus on my health and an upcoming series of surgeries.  Since being ill, my music has always been under par for what I feel I am capable of, and I have recently decided not to produce anything new until it is something I know I can be proud of. When I return in the spring, I anticipate a vast improvement in both my health and in my work.

Some of my plans upon returning to music include continuing my relationships with the original soul jazz trio Dirty Superb, and folk singer/songwriter Kerri Lee Smith. Of course, my main focus will be playing in and composing songs for Mysterytrain as we continue our crazy, psychedelic journey around Pennsylvania and the surrounding region.

The Wurlitzer restoration process is nearing completion, and I will post photos of that when there is something to photograph.

My 2009 studio project, Ultraviolet Catastrophe, is now available at many popular music retailers and will continue to be throughout my performing hiatus.  I’ve had to quit my job temporarily and am without income so I am hoping the CD sales do well.

Thank you, everyone, for all the love and support you have shown me during this difficult time in my life I will see you when I’m back and better than ever in Spring 2011! Peace!

    I read the article about you in Phoenix. I am also a Penn State alum–1964. I never got Crohns-colitis (they say I have a hybred of both) until about 10 years ago–I had my colon removed in August of 09. And I love music–currently I play with a recorder group. I was born and raised in central Pennsylvania and still go back relatively often because of family there. So you can see, I felt a great feeling of connection with your story even though I am 68 years old.

    I really hope things go well for you as you experience these next states of your journey. Sending warm thoughts your way
