Two NC retreats and a trip to Guatemala

As the pandemic finally appears to be fading, it is good to be able to gather in person again.  We also have a lot of healing to do. With that in mind, I’m inviting you to come spend some time with me, with three options coming up to spend more than an evening (of course, […]

Looking back on 2020

We are almost there, friends… 2020 is coming to a close. As the Washington Post wrote this morning, 2020 has been 97 months long, and it’s hard to remember all that has happened. I kind of like New Year’s Eve, in general.  I think it is important to mark time, to acknowledge the passing of […]

Navigating turbulent days

I have friends who are celebrating having fallen in love in 2020, and friends who, like me, have lost people they love to COVID in recent months. Others who have had their finances wrecked, jobs lost, and are having a hard time seeing a way forward, musician friends who have not only lost work, but […]

A new song finished, a new book begun…

Greetings from Fancy Gap, Virginia. My friend David has a beautiful cabin here, and let me hide out for a few days to write.  Sometimes it takes getting away, especially when there is a big project to work on, like a book, and I am so grateful to have a place to be that is […]

Turning

Each year on New Year’s Eve, folks gather arm in arm and sway and swill and sing an incomprehensible old Scottish song that Robert Burns is often credited with writing. It asks the rhetorical question of whether we should let our old friendships and memories go in favor of the new. The assumed answer is […]

An invitation to create something new with me

Dear friends, Sixteen days ago I launched a new project, and as of now, 59 folks have signed up to be a part of it.  It’s an exciting adventure — a smaller group of folks who are taking a deeper dive with me into creating a digital community, and who are supporting the work I […]

Violence, transformation, and that banner on my house

Nearly three years after I hung the first one of these on my house, I am amazed at how far it has gone.  The banner is hanging on houses and places of worship all over the U.S.  Here are a few of the stories. I made this banner and nailed it to my house because […]

In the News…

Well-respected music writer Bill Kopp, author of Reinventing Pink Floyd, wrote this article for Asheville’s Arts & Entertainment magazine Mountain Xpress.  The full article appears here.   For many Asheville-based musicians, making music is just one of the things they do. Cobbling together a financially sustainable lifestyle means taking on one or more part-time side […]
