Spirituality. Politics. Music. Life.
Last Saturday, Rusty King and I were honored to sit in on a little “family time” at First United Methodist Church of Sachse. It was a time of prayer and song that the church had shaped, as people began to deal with their shock and grief over the death of Russ Noland two days before. […]
Read MoreIt’s been a strange couple of days filled with life and death. My Treo says that today I’m having lunch with Russ Noland. I plan to be there. I’m having a hard time believing he won’t. In the midst of that sadness, a beautiful story of the beginning of new life and hope. August 13 […]

To the best of my knowledge, Peter Mayer holds the distinction of having written the world’s only Halloween folk song. You may not have heard it, but it’s really pretty popular in the acoustic music world. And when I Googled it, I even discovered a sculpture inspired by it I hope you will not only […]
