Bloomfield Youth Band concert this Sunday, June 13!

Pro Tip: Your time is never wasted when making music.

With the GOAT at the International Tennis Hall of Fame, Newport, RI. Not nearly enough Jimmy Connors but still great.

Neither Winston nor laundry has a chance in this house.

"Languid Tango", the second movement from my DIVERTIMENTO for woodwind quintet. Enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=Rvu25P…

Never give up. Ever.

Fantastic time working with the DE All-State Junior Band. Wonderful group of students and directors, and tomorrow's concert will be terrific. The 1st all-state experience for any of them due to Covid. Congrats to one and to all!

The pursuit of excellence is never convenient.

Music is it’s own reward.

Pro Tip: Your art is your gift and is in no way reliant on approbation from others. If it's meaningful to you then it will resonate with kindred spirits.

The most important day of your musical life was not the first day - the day you brought the instrument home or signed up for choir; it's the second day - the day you chose to come back.

300 #4. No matter that it's practice, with my back it's a miracle.

Pibble Tuesday.

Remembering my mom (May 1969).

This tree bears the scars of generations of relationships memorialized by young couples with pocket knives and youthful passions. Many of those romances remain visible after decades, and others have been scratched out in regret. But they are all remembered, if only by the tree...

Looking forward to my 39th year as Founding Director of the Bloomfield Youth Band, with our first rehearsal on 9/8. First performance of the season - EARTH, MOON and STAR - is on Sat, 12/7, 7.30 pm at Bloomfield MS. Be a part of our continuing history of making amazing music!

Stylin' and profilin'.
