Sheroes November Tour Dates and Streaming Tickets
Dear Friends


Happy Halloween - here is a treat, the Sheroes reunite for a series of masterclasses and concerts. Below is the schedule, note especially the streaming ticket options from An Die Musik on November 11 - you can all be there, virtually!

And it is the season to think about holiday presents and activities, especially as we face shipping delays for commercial goods. The Peace on Earth album is timeless and meaningful. For a signed copy order here and stream often! I will offer the Jazzin' Around the Christmas Tree for IU's Lifelong Learning again - info and enrollment info is here. For inquiries on holiday entertainment email me .


The last single from the upcoming Time Flies album is released now: Continental Music, one of my compositions. Find it on Spotify or Apple and stream often. Below is the performance calendar with info links.
See you soon

The Harvest Moon

It is the Harvest Moon! On gilded vanes
  And roofs of villages, on woodland crests
  And their aerial neighborhoods of nests
  Deserted, on the curtained window-panes
Of rooms where children sleep, on country lanes
  And harvest-fields, its mystic splendor rests!
  Gone are the birds that were our summer guests,
  With the last sheaves return the laboring wains!
All things are symbols: the external shows
  Of Nature have their image in the mind,
  As flowers and fruits and falling of the leaves;
The song-birds leave us at the summer's close,
  Only the empty nests are left behind,
  And pipings of the quail among the sheaves.
