Music News: August 2020

Hi Friends,
It’s been quite a while since I’ve written a music update. In this time of pandemic, there’s not a lot of live music happening out there. A few reminders of things I’m doing in the online world, to help keep us connected in this unusual time.

New Website!

First, my music website has a whole new look. You should check it out.
New music.

New pictures.

New videos.

And most of all, a slick new design. I’m really happy with it and  I hope you play around at the site for a while.

Coffee on the Porch

Also, every Tuesday morning during this time of social distancing, I am doing a livestream hour from my front porch called, “Coffee on the Porch.”

Join us every Tuesday, 9:30 am Central, for an hour of music and conversation.

You can find us on Facebook live here.

If you don’t have Facebook, you can navigate here on my website and either watch each week’s live broadcast, or the archives of all previous weeks.


WhenEFTalks

And, as always, don’t forget about this blog, “WhenEFTalks,” where there are always many essays to read on music, politics, spirituality and life.


I hope and pray you and all your loved ones are safe in this unusal time, and that you’re navigating life as best you can. I look forward to connecting with you all in person whenever that time comes.

Until then, breathe in and breathe out and keep yourself centered in thoughts of hope, peace and love.
