One last reminder that I'm going to be performing tonight at 8pm at Big Lick Tropical Grill!

Everyone listens to music differently and this is especially true during different periods of our lives. Infants don't understand language and are most probably attracted to changes in sound rather than the meaning behind sound. For instance, a bird's song or even more specifically organized changes in pitch grab their attention more than lyrics would. We take sound for granted every day. While many people love the poetry inherent in lyrics, I'm in love with melody. Suzanne Vega wrote a particularly interesting article called "What's a Melody For?". Click here to read it.

I failed to mention this before, but last Friday, February 27th, I was filmed for a test pilot that is being pitched to PBS. Regardless of whether or not this particular version of the television program makes the cut (and hundreds of pilots are made every day that fall by the wayside), I had a great time and it will be great to see a high quality recording of a live performance. Like a sports team analyzing game footage, I can't wait to get in there and see what I can do to improve my stagecraft. I'm sure a song or two from the show will make it on to this website. Many thanks to Lynchburg College, especially the students and faculty involved in making this happen!
