Hi friend,
This summer marks 40 years since I
embarked on my full-time professional music
career. Teaching private lessons, jazz
workshops and school clinics has been an
important part of my livelihood as well as
a way to contribute the gift of music to my
community. And now, I am ready to free up
some time in my life to enjoy travel and
other creative pursuits.
I am closing my music teaching
studio in July, and I am feeling a little
sentimental about that. I realize that many
of my current friends are former adult
students! Since moving to the Northern
California coastside 26 years ago, I have
sat one-on-one with 272 aspiring musicians
ages 9 thru 88. Some students studied
weekly with me for as long as 12 years!
This has been such a unique way to get to
know people, to be supportive during their
challenges and to guide them toward their
dreams. I am grateful.

After four decades of making a
living in this crazy profession, my
passion for performing music is as strong
as ever. I've slowed down the pace in
recent years, but I cannot imagine giving
up playing live. I'm still having too
much fun! During the next few weeks, I am
excited to change things up a little and
invite two different special guests to
play with me.
Guitarist extraordinaire Rick
Vandivier of Palo Alto is only available to
perform with me at Moss Beach Distillery a
couple of times a year. So, it's always a
treat to enjoy his sophisticated guitar
technique and upbeat attitude. Come hear us
this Wednesday from 5-7
p.m.

Incredibly talented pianist
Murray Low of Santa Cruz will bring a
whole new sound to my gigs at La
Costanera and Moss Beach Distillery in
July. Murray is best known for his
contributions to the Latin Jazz, Salsa
and Afro-Cuban musical landscape,
and he is so versatile that we can play
just about anything together.

Save the dates, invite some
friends and fill your summer with
leisurely live music!

This Fourth of July, we might as

light up those sparklers and have a great
time. See you soon.
