About
I’m a vocalist, lyricist, composer and educator. I perform regularly – usually original music, some jazz incarnation free improvisation or the blues. This site is a place to learn some more about me and I’ll post regularly about gigs, reviews, local and international movement, thoughts on teaching and some things I come across in my day. I enjoy observing the world about me and sharing that with others, perhaps you…if you stop by and read a post sometime.
Keep in touch if you like what you see/hear here and you’re happy – please join the mailing list! Then send more of your friends for the happiness…
Seriously…thanks for stopping by!

Hello,
I had had occasion to meet you at my friend Mossa Bildner’s show on Houston, +/-6 months ago. We spoke briefly, and unfortunately I couldn’t attend an upcoming gig you were going to have. I found this site recently and ordered some CD’s, Freesong Suite and Lazy Old Sun. Whew, they both kick serious butt! A joy in my ears. thanks so much for your gifts. I hope to see you live whenever it happens next in NYC. cheers. Scott
Thanks Scott,
Glad you received the CD and enjoyed the music! Looking forward to meeting at a gig soon…
In music,
Fay
