CURRENT MISSION

Peace through music

ABOUT ME

Hard working and passionate about music. Open minded, Understanding.

I have traveled through much of the US, Canada, and a little bit in Mexico, England, France, and Italy.

PHILOSOPHY

Experiencing the one Source of Life in the multiplicity of people things and events and finding the expression of that Source in me and through me in the clearest and most aligned way I can allow is my primary purpose.

I believe that the Divine is operating in all of us, supporting life and the most beneficent purposes possible, even when it doesn't look like it. it is my hope to be aligned with this current of beneficent life and to be its expression always. This does not preclude fun, laughter and being fully myself!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the harmonizing effect music can have on myself and audiences. This is true for me wherever I have been, either at home or traveling, and this has given me a motivation and career I love.

I also love learning about what works for other people, spiritually, in relationships, culturally and practically, and enjoy mutual explorations in conversation and collaborative projects.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just beginning on Couch Surfing!

Since the 1990s I have toured mostly through the East Coast and a little of the West Coast of the US, and stayed at many homes of people who hosted me. I have also hosted other musicians who were traveling through.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Feeling Bliss walking with a friend on the beach. My first synchronicity playing with a jazz group when we suddenly all knew where we were and where we were going in an improvisation. Experiencing phenomenal Love at Assisi, Italy.

Teach, Learn, Share

Expressing through a creative art (such as improvised music) the result of a pure intent and then surrendering to the expression as it reveals itself brings perception of the Divinity behind everything, and amazing art!
