The Painted Bird no. 2.  I played this improvisation today instead of going to work.  Sometimes art is more important to me than economic realities.

I know I haven’t posted in a while, but I’ve still been writing plenty of music.  This piece is called “Lithia Park”.

This odd little specimen is called “Rushmore”.  Enjoy!

“It’s a unique sensation staring at something as remarkable as Rushmore.  Your breath is knocked out of your lungs by the beauty of it all.  And yet… you can still only stare at something for so long before you finally have to ask, ‘ok, where to next?’ It’s as if this unmatched national treasure is just another cheap tourist stop along the highway.  But alas, such is life on the road.”
