“I believe artists are our conscience, the teachers of society. The best artists have the ability to go deep within themselves to bring up the treasures, usually in the form of questions, which form a blueprint for a meaningful life. As an artist, I am always looking for ways to bring meaning and clarity into the world, to use my God given talent to inquire and to edify. So I share my journey, finding and expressing insight any way I can, to whoever is willing to engage in our shared human journey. I do this through my painting, my writing, my acting/directing my music and my teaching.” rm

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Here's a sweet little Trio for Violin, Clarinet and Piano for your edification, something I've been working on in my "spare" time (all time is spare at my age). Some of you may know of my aspiration to be a composer when I grow up. Danny has also caught the bug. Maybe he will do it. If he keeps up like he is, he will be well known as a serious composer. In fact, it was he who got me back into the racket. The whole piece comes in at 5:30. Sheet music available if you'd like to program this on your next recital. clyp.it/m5n32u2a
