I'm a professional musician of over thirty years and am available for sessions
playing in a wide variety of musical genres. I have an album release called
"Dreamstate" , and you can download a sample wav.
file of one of the songs from my Music and Recordings
homepage.
I own and engineer "The Art of Music" sound studio in
Floyd County, VA. I help singer/songwriters as well as bands to record their
original music in a professional environment with the latest in technological
musical equipment.
Check out my Musical Connections page, where you can
read about my friends and connections in the music world. Many of the bands I've
been in over the years are mentioned here, as well as artists I have recorded in
the studio. 
I write poetry and have participated in the Southeastern
U.S. regional Poetry Slam as a participant
from the Roanoke, VA team. Some of my poetry posted on these pages has
been published on other websites as well as some local print publications.
I recently was chosen for publication for an anthology of poetry being put
out by the International Library of Poetry
and poetry.com. My poem, "Dancing In Our
Dreams", is in their their Winter 2001
edition, entitled "Nature's Echoes". My most
recently published poem is featured in the Spring 2001 edition of
"The Poet's Feast", a publication of
Velvet Touch Press in Roanoke. If you're
interested in reading poetry and getting insights into my mental, emotional,
and spiritual landscapes, check out my Poetry page.
I have been doing artwork for some years and create brilliantly
colored geometric designs and intricate patterns in precisely drawn
forms. A known artist that comes closest in comparison of style to my
particular mode of expression is that of Viktor
Vasarely, a contemporary French artist whose work is sold
through and hangs in the Circle Gallery in NYC. Go to my
Art Gallery if you'd like to see some of my
paintings.
I've been studying the Mayan cosmology, including the
Mayan calendar known
as the Tzolkin, as interpreted recently by Dr.
Jose Arguelles. This calendar
has a periodicity of 260 days, containing all possible permutations of
13 tones by 20 glyphs. The Mayans also had a solar calendar of 364.2422
days, 3/10,000ths of 1 day less than the presently accepted measurement
of the completion of one rotation of the Earth around the Sun. But the
260 day calendar was the sacred calendar and coincided with galactic and
earthly synchronous rhythms. Each day had a certain quality depending
on the combination of a "tone" and a "glyph". Dr. Arguelles studied and
reinterpreted these to create the Dreamspell calendar - a modern, updated
version of the classic Mayan sacred calendar. For more detailed information on
all of this, see my tutorial on the Dreamspell
Calendar.
I often go to the national
Rainbow Gatherings. For the uninitiated, these gatherings
take place in a different national forest each year where thousands of us pitch tents,
sometimes stay for weeks (or longer), participate in workshops, trade at the trading
circle (no money is exchanged at the gathering), play music by the bonfires at night,
help in the communal kitchens, and generally create moments of magic amongst our
kinfolk... the depth of what one personally experiences at one of these gatherings is
indescribable for the most part.
An avid interest of mine (or pet peeve, if you will) is studying the
Ufo/Gov't. Cover-up Connection. I've spent a
lot of time on the Internet pursuing this subject. I feel that being aware
of this secret history is of utmost importance, not just to me, but to the
welfare of humanity as a whole. The more I read and study this phenomenon,
the stronger my conviction that the eventual exposure of this far-reaching
web of deceit will lead to vast liberation from governmental excesses and
oppression. It's not just time for our leaders to come clean about how much
is kept from the general public concerning our own welfare but for the
people themselves to recognize that all is not well with the state of affairs
concerning the governance of nations and its populations. Information and
knowledge are the great liberators and the Internet is a service provider to
all of humanity in this way. The more we become aware of the injustices that
abound, the sooner we can do something about them. You'll find a link to a
different site for each term mentioned on this page. These links could keep
you busy for many hours to come. Be forewarned! Go to my
UFO page.
I have a web page devoted entirely to Quotes
of authors of my favorite books. Most of what you'll find here is of a philosophic
and spiritual nature, which, for me, is often the most sensible, practical, and
inspiring reminders of the principles of living a balanced life. These are all culled
from an ongoing notebook I have been keeping for years. I often look them over myself
to remember how large life can be.
I'm
currently living in Floyd, VA in the Copper Hill area. We're an
Intentional Community focused primarily on art,
music, and spirit. We have 10 acres of wooded land in the Blue Ridge mountains
with spectacular views, clean air, and pure water. If you'd like to know more
about community living, check out my web page on intentional community.
My band is called
"Zen Bones" and you can check out our performance schedule on our home page, and
find out a little about each of our band members.
This is a page with some
Photos of people in my life (including myself).
Here's a list of my favorite
Links, including many on science, the cosmic
perspective, intentional communities, alternative building, music resources,
animated gifs, map atlas, weather cams and various other things I've
bookmarked along the way. Surf the Net!
One of the newest additions to my website is a page on
Earth Changes. Here you can read about
the latest finds in science, predictions about our near future, and
what you can do to prepare for what might lie ahead. You'll find information
on pole shifts, global warming, volcanoes, the sun, polar ice cap melting
and more.
Take a ride to my webpage on
Monorails. This is about the future of transportation - an energy
efficient and environmentally clean method of travel. One day in the near
future you'll be falling asleep in your car instead of driving it. Find out
all the things about monorails you never wanted to know.
I recently published a new webpage on my idea for innovative travel
of the future via Hovercraft controlled by a
Global Positioning Sattelite, more commonly known by its acronym - the
GPS. Hop in and go for a spin in my air-cushioned car from the future.
Here's some words from my 10 year old son, Sekaya,
who enjoys playing on the computer just as much as I do. Sekaya also will
show you some of his latest artwork on his Art
Page.

you're interested in knowing more about me personally, see my
Personal page.And if
you're really a curious person (like I am), check out my
Family and Friends page.
Tibetan
monks from the Ganden Jangtse monastery
visited the Roanoke/Blacksburg
area of southwestern Virginia in January. I was fortunate enough to be
able to host them for six days. The opportunity of having them here was
a life-changing experience. They had three sold-out shows and we're ready
to see them again. I await their return to infuse their unique signature
of wisdom and balance in the Western World. To find out more about their
unique presentation, check out my webpage on them.
Here's the
Back Door to my website. This'll give you
a choice of wild send-offs into the backwaters of Internet webpages
when you're done looking at everything here. Be adventurous! 
This is a relatively new addition to my website.
It's a music tutorial with sound. You can hear intervals, scales, and chords
played via MIDI files. The page is far from exhaustive in its scope but it
might just help you to begin to understand the underlying concepts of music
theory. If you like it and want to see more, let me know. If I get enough
feedback (not the kind from an amplifier), I'll work on extending the range of
this Music Theory Tutorial. 
This
is a new webpage and it's all about dancing. From Contact Improvisation to
Yogadance, and from Barefoot Boogie to Trance Dance, you'll find out all about
the art of Freedance. Dancing is an expression of one's soul. When you begin to
tune into the rhythms of your body, you get in touch with your inner ecstasy.
Dance on over to my Freedance page and learn about
these exhilirating dance forms and what it's all about. 
My latest webpage addition is on the Elberon Ranch, a nature preserve in the heart
of the city of Long Branch, NJ, where I once lived. You can see some pictures of
this magical haven and read about its history. The Ranch's existence is now
threatened by commercial development and may soon be sold. |
