Ballads Are Soothing Sounds

music is like a hot toddy

good for the mind and good for the body

Music is a Holy art and is a healer of the soul. My interest has always been music as therapy. Music relieves the anxiety that "human flesh is heir to." 

In my original music, I'm always looking for "the lost chord," using a blending of styles, e. g., blues, country, folk, borrowing heavily from the jazz-gospel idioms learned as a child.

Listen to my covers of tunes recorded in my live shows. Use them for listening and relaxing pleasure.
