I make music, too. For nearly 40 years, I have performed original soulful piano and vocal music with searching, honest lyrics. My songs are confessional, comfortable like a cardigan, and instantly familiar.

I bake bread. Lots of it. Some of it is really exquisite... and some, well, we won't speak of it. Oh, but the good stuff is really good. Check out https://www.bluebowlbreads.com/ where I show and tell about finished breads, publish yummy recipes, and share the tradition of home bread baking passed on to me by my mom.
