My life is about music. Well, I've got two great kids and a wonderful girlfriend, and two cats in the yard (actually, they rarely venture outdoors). And I'm a Quaker, seeking to embody the Peace Testimony in my everyday interactions with everyone I meet (even Ernie). And I'm an astronomer by day (yes, radio astronomers do it all day long -- we don't have to wait till the night). But I have a different calling by night.

Music literally fills my life. I understand things through music. I process emotions through music. I listen to a little known radio station called KMRK, broadcasting only between my ears, which sometimes blares out known tunes, but more often than not is an endless stream of newly created melodies, harmonies, and rhythms. I am limited by a very low bandwidth out of my head, through my hands and my mouth. But I do what I need to do to get this music outside of my head and into the universe of people and air and sound.

Music is God's gift to me, it keeps me together, giving me something that I can give to other folks. God shines on us, and we glow with that love and light and music. I offer this spiritual gift to everyone who would hear my music.
