my songs and shows
I was especially thrilled and proud to sing at UT Night at the Trail of Lights this year because for the first time Maile AND Anais both joined me singing on stage. We sang, walked the trail, sat with Santa and rode the Ferris wheel. Lots of love and lights. Special thanks to stage manager Breck for snapping some photos of us onstage.

Ralph and I played our first lunchtime concert at UT since Feb. 2016 so it felt good to get back out there on the shady banks of Waller Creek and rock out. Here’s a version of Cat Stevens’s If You Wanna Sing Out, Sing Out and a picture of us under the big tree (thanks to Diana Sanchez).
I asked Anais to take some photos, which she did, from the creek in which she was playing the whole time. So here is her documentation of the gig:
We gathered in the pavilion at Little Stacy Park on the first Sunday of June – 6/4/2017 – and had a great time singing Dylan songs. Here are a setlist, video and a few photos, below. The video features our versions of All Along The Watchtower, Subterranean Homesick Blues, and Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door.
I had a weekend to myself in Canyon Lake with Joe’s Princeton Reverb and I took the opportunity to record this beautiful Brian Wilson classic.

There’s this great echoey stairwell in the business school where I used to work. I’ve started going back over there. It’s got a great resonance and is hidden at the back corner of the building and hardly ever used.
First I took my Yamaha acoustic over there to try out a new USB mic. Laid down a chord progression then layered two tracks of Ebow ambience over it.
Then I brought my 3/4 classical guitar over there and recorded All I Wanna Do by The Beach Boys.
