Happy New Year!
I found a musician on this island that blew me away. When I introduced myself he said I was like Bigfoot - he'd been hearing about me but hadn't had a sighting. Rachman Ross is a great drummer. and we recently played our first show together at Bailey's Corner on Whidbey Island.
This Cello'n'Drums video captures our spontaneous set, full of risk-taking and inspired moments in a friendly roadhouse setting.
The set includes a new song called 'Holiday Party' which may make me a target of the local police. But there's always room for a little more excitement in the life of a mild-mannered cellist.
I hope you enjoy the music as well as the fun videography by Robbie Cribbs. And if you do, please share the link with others. Now that the Coronavirus seems to be retreating I'm ready for something new to go viral.
I have performed in opera houses, schools, pubs, public parks, private homes, on boats, vineyards, historic theaters, on TV, radio, on four continents … the list goes on. I've never played in a chicken barn. But that's about to change. So come on out to the the show for this historic first - unless you're chicken.

I am adding new content to my Patreon page every month - mostly audio and some video, curious outtakes, unreleased pieces. Some may eventually land on an album and others are destined to bask in obscurity.
A raccoon recently wandered onto my back deck and helped itself to the hummingbird feeder. I captured a video of the frisky critter taking a sugar water shower and made a soundtrack for the little wild kingdom experience. This riveting cinematography will be featured in the next Patreon posting.
If you subscribe to my Patreon (at whatever level feels right to you) you will have instant access to everything I've posted so far and be notified about each new posting. Your support is much appreciated!
