Members of Congress: what more evidence do you need before you do something to stop this criminal, treasonous president of ours?

U.S.A. - Latin America is not ours to simply do with as we please.

Trying to stay positive by working on things I enjoy. My latest project is this alder/ash Telecaster style guitar.

Beauty amid the madness in our country

Our country is being run by criminals. There’s no other way to put it.

Please have a listen to "Peace Talks" which I wrote for Bente Illevold and the Swedish quartet, Rollin' Phones. This was recorded in Bergen (Åsane) Norway on September 27. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5Fn...

I created a slide show for my most recent composition for orchestra, "La Cueva del Milodón." The images are landscapes and wildlife from our beloved country, Chile. youtu.be/VfXIeUuaUT8

The current occupant of the White House is destroying our relationship with long-trusted allies, throwing Ukraine under the bus, cozying up the dictator Putin, waging a war on immigrants and refugees, and spreading lie after lie after lie. We must do something.

European friends, many of us here in the USA know that J. D. Vance and the current occupant of the White House are dangerous men who do not have the best interests of the world at heart. We are mortified by their current actions/words against you.

Dear Canadians, Mexicans, and people of goodwill around the world: I am appalled at the actions of our government. Many of us are. Please know of our sorrow over this, and that many of us are working to fight what is happening in the U.S.

If you would like to read a beautiful and profound book to help during these challenging times, I recommend "The Elegance of the Hedgehog" by Muriel Barbery

I honestly don't know what to do. I'm just so sorrowful about the direction the government is taking our country - and especially its treatment of immigrants and refugees. It's not right.

Baritone ukulele made out of a San Lotano cigar box! My first one, so, not perfect, but rustic and steam-punkish. It sounds pretty nice.

The Camerata Nova beautifully plays my new piece "What I Could Not Tell You" youtu.be/ObBzZUuaJdU

I never tire of watching the skies.

Very happy that the Camerata Nova is recording my piece "What I Could Not Tell You" this week. For composers, having a great recording of your work is better than gold!
