Thanks to all the people who attended these shows! We had a great time performing for you and your enthusiasm, dancing, and applause helped make the evening magical. For those of you who saw us in Unionville be sure to make it out to some of our other shows - Huntsville and Toronto are too far! To all our Homer fans: we've been asked back for September 2010, but that's way too long from now, so take a trip and come see us in Burlington ON in July - it's about a 4 hour drive!

Excerpts from recent interviews

INTERVIEW #1

Q: what was the nature of your musical training at a young age? Formal lessons/training? Did you study music in a college or university environment?

A: I took private lessons on guitar off and on for about 2 years starting at 8 and then again at about 11. In high school, I studied basic music theory and began composing classical music, mostly for guitar but also for piano, violin, and string quartet. Since then my travels and interest in ethnic music have inspired my playing and composing.

Q: which musicians had the greatest impact on your development?

January update

Posted Sat, 01/17/2009 - 10:08 by admin

Dear Friends,

I hope the New Year is off to a great start for everyone. My New Year's celebration was spent in the Caribbean island of the Dominican Republic where I went scuba diving (got stung twice by a tiny jelly fish), horseback riding through the mountains, and meditated on the beach beneath a palm tree. I will post some photos in the Gallery for those who are interested.
