I performed Beyond the Chariots last Sunday at The Meetingplace Church in Blacksburg, SC. The beautiful building was miraculously transformed from a chicken shed.

I just came across a great article by John Truby.

Here's an excerpt:
I don’t know why these stories of grand moral accounting have all appeared in movie theaters at around the same time. It may be nothing more than a fluke of production. Or it may be a reaction to a time when America’s pos...

Joyce just told me the snow flakes in New York are beautiful. You'll have to imagine them. I'm in South Carolina, where it's almost 70 degrees.

Retta Blaney posted a review of my friend, David Nevue's book: How to Promote Your Music Successfully on the Internet. If you've ever wanted to go full time into the arts as a musician, David's book has a lot of tools to help make that happen.

Every Wednesday that I'm in town the songs of Xanadu keep my afternoon lively as the matinée of the Broadway hit reverberates through the Helen Hayes Theatre where I keep my office.

The movie Xanadu is considered to have put to death the movie musical, but this stage musical has fixed a number of ...

I just left snowy Winona Lake, where we just held our MasterWorks ( http://MasterWorksFestival.org) department head planning session. It was so great to get together.
