Hi Everyone! 

Just a brief note to share that there'll be a livestream of a special writers show I'll be playing THIS Saturday night. I'm in the midst of a retreat with 3 talented (and really nice) artists at the…

January Greetings! 

It’s a strangely warm, rainy day in Memphis, a good day to stay inside and catch up with you. Not much news thus far in the New Year because I’ve been slowly recovering from a couple of pesky…

December Greetings! 

As I write this, a chill rain is pounding the skylight over my head here in Memphis. I pray that we're all warm and dry as these crazy storms roll across the country. And here, nearly at the…

November Greetings & Early Happy Thanksgiving! 

I pray all of us are staying warm through the crazy cold snap affecting much of the country. It's been so cold (and so early) for so many! Having a paucity of meat on…

Autumn Greetings to All Friends, Fans & Curious Onlookers! 

It’s now sho’ nuff autumn in Memphis, and today's been spectacular! After an early morning walk, however, I've been holed up in my little attic studio, which is where I've been…

June Greetings Everyone from very hot Memphis! 

And hey I know it’s uncomfortably hot lots of places right now. I do pray everyone’s managing. 

With that in mind... Last weekend my wife and I took a walk sponsored by an…

May Greetings Everyone! 

Spring—I want it to last on and on! But maybe what's fleeting is all the more sweet. And speaking of sweet, I've been traveling—shows with old friend Michael Lille in Asheville and Nashville last week—and I loved…

April Greetings! 

Early spring is in full swing here in Memphis. Buds are bursting, fruit trees and dogwoods flowering and the palest of slender green leaves are sprouting above Midtown streets. I’m reminded that change is indeed possible, renewal is…

March Greetings Everyone, 

I can’t launch into my monthly email to you all without saying that my heart is with the people of Ukraine. The news, the images… hard to read, watch, listen. For me, when unfathomable hurt is inflicted…
