FREE mp3 download from Anne Heaton

Incredibly talented Boston singer/songwriter, Anne Heaton, has offered a gift to everyone - download her musical version of the St. Francis Prayer - it is absolutely gorgeous!

I never met a mic I didn't like.

A wise man once said to me, "I never met a mic I didn't like." Well, I am just as verbose!

I gave a presentation to a group of Brokers and Owners from real estate companies in 5 different states today. What a great group - we had fun and got a LOT accomplished.

Wild horses and live music

These are some of the photos I took at the FOAL reserve in Cody, Wyoming.

In August of 2009, my brother, Kyle, and I took an amazing two week driving trip from Rapid City, South Dakota to Seattle, Washington. We met many warm and friendly people and took in some of the unbelievably beautiful sights that the northwestern states have to offer. A very sweet lady, who ran one of the campsites we visited, recommended we look for wild horses on our way up to Cody. She said, “You can tell they’re wild horses by their long and flowing manes. They’ve never been trimmed.” She was right. We could see them from the road and, after a hair-rasing miscue that I will not detail here (short story: 2 rattlesnakes), we found the road into the reserve, where we carefully hiked to see the mustangs.The music is a live performance that I recorded in January, 2010.

Anne Heaton composed the music - I believe the lyrics are borrowed from a poem . This touching rendition was done at Sub Rosa, a monthly musical gathering at Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, Massachusetts. That was my first Sub Rosa experience - I will never forget that show and I believe this song will stay with me for years to come.

Sub Rosa rehearsal with Rose Polenzani

This is Sub Rosa's "Rose", herself, rehearsing a song from her soon-to-be-released album. Rose Polenzani is a class act and is always surrounded by a great group of talented musicians...

Sub Rosa rehearsal with Margaret Glaspy

I love the feeling of the group in this song. Margaret Glaspy does such a great job with this one. Again - this is Sub Rosa rehearsal

Sub Rosa rehearsal with Elana Arian

This great performance is by Elana Arian at the Sub Rosa rehearsal. You can see the wonderful group of musicians all contributing to this lovely song.

Sub Rosa? Yes, indeed.

I was able to get some video practice with some GREAT local musicians. This particular video features Alastair Moock, Rose Polenzani, Elana Arian and Margaret Glaspy, amongst others... I believe this song is called, "Yes, Indeed".
