COVID-19 = THOU SHALT NOT SING
A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reported that one minute of loud talking could produce “1,000 virus-containing droplet nuclei that could remain airborne for more than eight minutes.”
And singing is worse than loud talking!
So a switch in emphasis here, from singing live (long i), to living music (live with a short i).
The former (and hopefully future) splash page is below.
For now, keeping music “living” during the pandemic, new pages:
CREATE! — Song sketches — song gifts for friends, learning new composition/mixing/recording tools, creative challenges
GC2TE Project — Getting Close to the Edge — recording a progressive-rock song written when I was 16
COV-19 — or iPhone Live — Just me, a guitar, and an iPhone — great practice and almost live!
Enjoy!
And may the pandemic pass quickly so live music can thrive again!
The once and (hopefully) future splash page…
"Just the Beginning"
"Moonlight" (instrumental): Part 4 from "A•M•D•M"
"I've Seen You" (acoustic) - recorded live, 1985

Music — playing, writing, recording — is my (very) serious, life-affirming avocation, not my profession.
I play guitar and keyboards, compose, and record because I love music.
