Rain Poems

Going forward, my new music will no longer be released to streaming services. CDs won’t be mass-manufactured. I will create exclusively for Backstage, my new website and membership program. My work will only be available to members. BACKSTAGE

This is the first album I haven’t recorded in Santa Fe since 1995. I recorded my guitar with my new mobile studio in the US and Portugal.

Thank you to Lisi-Tana who infuses much of my work with her ideas.
Special thanks to Eric Schermerhorn who, during one or two long phone conversations in 2021, planted the Lisbon seed in my head.
