Loves music (making it and listening to it), birds, yard work (or in English, gardening), cooking, movies, politics, and above all, Stacey Kent.
How nice to have a song I wrote with Kazuo Ishiguro, performed by Stacey Kent, chosen by President Obama for his 2025 music recommendations list.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Today I’m giving thanks for trees. This is Apollo. He’s an old old overcup oak, a great friend to the birds and insects.
