Hi...
I just had a strong reaction to Steve Bannon telling the press to "shut up..."
Anyway, I was inspired to put my thoughts and feelings to music, and this song jumped out & wrote itself down, as Arlo Guthrie used to say...
It's called "Don't Letup," and I just did a rough recording at Cavern Recording Studios in Tucson...
Let me know if you have any thoughts on how we can use this song as a call to action for anyone else particularly concerned with our current state of political affairs...
Hope you enjoy the song....

I wrote an original song called "trump," and I produced a video to go along with it...

Let me know what you think.
He is a remarkable character...

Journey To the River

A few years ago, I drove up to the Grand Canyon from Tucson to meet up with my dad, my brother-in-law, and my two nephews... They all came in from Chicago.

We were only there for a couple days, and it was a very pleasant reunion for "the guys..."  We did some easy hiking around the south rim of the canyon, took a jeep tour, and began walking down Bright Angel Trail for about 45 minutes one afternoon.  We turned around and came back up for ice cream... We were certainly not the most rugged bunch, though we were very happy to be together.

As a younger man, I'd done a good deal of intense hiking, camping, and backpacking, and I was starting to yearn for a bit more adventure while in/at the Canyon...
