Not Yellowstone During COVID 19
Hello friends! Welp.... what to say? It has once again been decided that music is too dangerous to have in Yellowstone National Park this winter. This will be my 4th season of sitting it out. So now what?? First of all, I have a gig at the Robin's Nest Bed and Breakfast on Sept 12. I usually…

Yellowstone Music in the time of Covid 19
Greetings! Salutations! I just got back to Yellowstone from a wonderful journey to Sunapee Lake in NH with my family. Since I began working in Yellowstone, that annual vacation event stopped happening for me, so I'm grateful for the chance to get back to the Lake in the summertime. It's a lot...

Throwback Friday on a Saturday
This song has been making a resurgence in my head lately. It's on my album "Across Two Rivers". Maggie Dubris wrote the lyrics for this one. Thought I would share it today.

Songbirds!
Hello again from the Old Faithful Twilight Zone! It's a hot one today (at least for us - nearly 80 today in Old Faithful). I have been faithfully sanitizing our employee living quarters so that no one spreads disease. Keeping my fingers crossed that I might be able to sit in my music corner again...

Happy 90 to Fritz Smith!
The Old Faithful Inn is back in full swing for the summer season of 2019. It hasn't felt like summer, as I think it has snowed more days than not since I've been back. But the sun has returned, bluebirds and bears are out and it's lovely to be back with my friend the Kawai on the 2nd floor of the...

Spring migration
Heading back to the park after an awesome journey to visit friends and family, an amazing course in a healing modality called Zero Balancing (www.zerobalancing.com), and a really nice recording sojourn in Austin Texas with David Lauterstein. We will have a new CD out at some point - this one is...

Mid break
Greetings from the Northeast! Hanging out with my folks for a bit after a really fun road trip visiting 3 National Parks and several friends. Winding up in an amazing community of Zero Balancers for a 4 day class (www.zerobalancing.com). Today I pulled out the computer and spent a couple hours on...

Back to the Faithful
It's been so great to be back playing at the Old Faithful Inn. I do miss the quartet dearly, but I also love being able to plug in my cello and create music on the fly as well as playing covers, classics and originals. It's also wonderful to be reunited with my Old Faithful family. We seem to be...

February thaw
Yikes! How can it be mid February already? I have slacked off on my blogging. Those who know me well surely are shocked by that. (ahem) We here in Yellowstone are gearing up for Valentine's Day followed (instantly) by the start of our annual winter Olympics. As always, I look forward to the…

Best wishes to you all in the New Year!
I hope 2016 has been a very fortuitous and optimistic time so far for you. We here at Snow Lodge are getting warm and not getting enough snow currently! I have added a new album (weeeee!) with so far only one track.. The album is called "Live from The Old Faithful Snow Lodge".. It is exactly…

Cello time pre-season
Ahhh... Lovely Old Faithful in winter. It has been snowing, and the skiing is wonderful. I am still waiting to access a piano, so I've been playing my cello tonight and goofing off with the looper and such. Thought I'd share. This is an improvisation I created. It's called "Lullaby". I plan to…

Mammoth Hot Springs
Back in the park at last... Snow has been falling off and on all day. So happy I put snow shoes on the Little Car! It really makes a BIG DIFFERENCE. Wonderful to see friends who I haven't seen for a while. Kind of sorry, yet pleased, that checking in for the season is now so quick.. It used to be...

Cello Chariot embarks
Greetings and Salutations! The cello chariot is about to embark once again for the magical land of Yellowstone. We, Yellowstoners, strongly hope this will be a cold and snowy winter with Old Faithful spouting ice crystals, the sky sparkling with fairy dust, and the trees drenched in white hoar...
About this show
This is a free improvisation that I performed live at Old Faithful. It's all made up on the fly, although I do admit to adding in some edits upon mastering the tracks.
