Had a nice hike partway up Mount Rose today, and snapped a few shots along the way.  Enjoy!

I realized as I was saving today’s podcast to a file that this date one year ago marked the first entry in my Spontaneous Reflections podcast.  Nice to look back and see regular progress and variety in the 35 improvisations I posted in the first year.  Off the Path, the album collecting the best of the fall 2008, continues to be dear to my heart, but I think there are some real gems since then as well.  You might detect a bit more rock influence lately in some of my favorites such as “Dry Hot Long Ago.”

I’m almost ready to start collecting them into album #2 – watch for it, and grab the free versions off my podcast while they are still available!

Most of my song names relate to a feeling or event in my life at the time I name and save the file (how’s that for a hard deadline!) and today’s was no exception - “A Year Gone By” fit both the occasion and the tone of the piece.  Enjoy!

P.S. keep those comments coming!  Each one motivates me to share more…

Choosing the simplest of chord progressions and melodies and challenging them to soar.
