He's had a camera in his hand since forever, and is very creative. He's at SUNY Purchase in the prestigious Film Conservatory, but it's a public institution and doesn't subsidize the filmmakers, so he's raising money to make his Freshman Film.

So much to be grateful for, in spite of the economic and political landscape (don't get me started!) Let me count the positive stuff:
My new album, Weeds Like Us, is nearly finished and we're looking at a February 21 release date thanks to the generosity of my friends and fans, and kickstarter.com This is a good one
Our son is home from college. He's a film student, and passionate about it. It's great to have his energy around.

We planted these years ago, and it's the first year I've noticed that it blooms just in time for Valentine's Day. Because of our rocky soil, the blooms lay sort of sad and bend down as if broken-hearted. Happily, I've put them in a vase to brighten up the place. Have a drama-free Valentine's Day!
And a new look to our site. Enjoy, and please come visit often.
It's a beautiful day here in Southern California, and I'm grateful for the many great hearts and talents and small treasures in my life.
Thank you for listening to my music. I'm busy making more!
