Sunday Morning in the Studio
11:00am CST / 12:00pm EST
For these shows, I go up to my studio and play songs that keep me on the ground.
Most will probably be mine, but a few might be a cover.
I might read from my book, show some art that I’ve been working on, maybe talk about where my mind is wandering and where I’d like it to go.
I’ll play guitar, more than likely some things on my old out-of-tune yet perfect 1941 Steinway.
Regardless, I do these shows for the pure joy of playing music in my studio.
I hope you can join me.
