Welcome!

Happy Spring!  Here in Colorado, we’re getting snow and rain and sunshine, frequently all at once....ah, Spring...

I’m pretty much recovered from my encounter last Fall with a walnut (hiding beneath those fallen leaves) and a concrete sidewalk, that left me with a messed up right hand, a couple of broken ribs, and a purple cast, decorated by my nieces, on my hand for several weeks.  Then a slow recovery and return to being able to do things like play the guitar, hold a pen or use the computer.  My appreciation for the simple things of life has grown a lot.

I’m very happy to tell you that my solo CD is nearly done...I plan to have it in hand when I begin my trek to California in April.  It’s mainly new tunes, but I’ve redone a couple of my older songs that have evolved over the years.  Ordering info will be on the website soon.

I hope you are well and enjoying the journey...finding time for music, friends, nature and whatever else brings you joy. Have a lovely spring and I hope our paths cross before long.


Peace and cheers,

Ellen
