My song Brighter Days is now up. It’s a slower, more thoughtful arrangement than the original version I posted on YouTube. As we were working it up, I began to hear different meanings in the phrases – crazy what just changing the tempo a little can do. I hope you hear some of your own story in it, too.

Look for it on your favorite streaming platform. I’m working in the background to get some new songs ready, too, so watch this space…

On Saturday, March 22nd, I’ll be teaching a beginner Old Time rhythm guitar workshop at the Folk Society of Greater Washington Mid-Winter Festival. Come on by and enjoy a full schedule of cool events and outstanding people! More info at FSGW.org.
