Let me row you down the sweet river of musical bliss! By Jumping in this Boat, My new CD will become a reality.

My songs are a record of my life which flow through me when I am living outside in the wilderness and on the water. They are a conversation ... between me and the rivers, ancient canyon walls and oceans... about life, heart, relationship and politics. The water is my muse, my friend and my lover that elicits songs from my heart that speak of my life's journey.

I am very excited to announce that my new album "The Day I Fell in the Water" is in its final stages of completion!

This kickstarter video features several of the songs that I have already recorded to be released on this new CD.

I still need to raise $10,800 to finish my project including final recording and manufacturing costs.

I appreciate your support to help get this album through the final phase, and out into the world.
