  1. Music Day 14: "V'ger"...Voyager 1 is now billions of miles outside the heliopause, as far from that boundary as Neptune is from Earth, and speeding onward at about a million miles a day.

    And it will take a full 17,000 years to reach "only" one light year away from earth. And to think, the center of our own Milky Way is 28,500 light years from Earth...just wow.

    I love the humility of knowing this:-)

  2. Music Day 12: To celebrate my most recent song "Glitter" (today, no video yet!), appropriate for a Saturday night!

    "Glitter" is the first from the upcoming album (later this spring) called "Graphite & Glitter".

    This is unashamedly a nod to one favorite artists, Donald Fagan, and his song "I.G.Y. (What a Beautiful World)".

    "What a beautiful world this will be, what a glorious time to be free

    On that train all graphite and glitter, undersea by rail
    Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
    (more leisure for artists everywhere)
    A just machine to make big decisions
    Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision
    We'll be clean when their work is done
    We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young"

    Entering the age of AI & beyond, Donald's somewhat sardonic take on technology and the future has aged well:-)

  3. Music Day 5: Over the years, though mostly a lover of rock, I have always loved a wide variety of genres...from funk, prog, fusion, electronic, dance, etc. Never limiting myself to a specific type, it just needs to sound good to my ears and in my bones:) Guitarist Nile Rodgers was especially a favorite, his percussive use of tiny chords (I believe Mark Lettieri coined that!) and syncopated rhythm playing has always blown me away. I was going for somewhat of an homage to his style, but obviously next to impossible to replicate, I call it "DiscoSphere".

    Many thanks to the awesome Flash Mob dancers around the world on YouTube, they provided a nice back drop to this!

    Springtime is nearly here, time to move and get up and dance! Cheers!
