             For all its difficulties, 2021 was an AMAZING year for me. The highlight of course being the release of "The Blues Never End" on Earwig Music.  Here's a summary of the Roots Music Reports for the 15 weeks from the release in September to the end of 2021:

Acoustic Blues Album: 4 weeks at #1; All 15 weeks in the top 6

New York Album: 2 weeks at #1, 3 weeks at #2, All 15 weeks in the top 9

Blues Album (All types): All 15 weeks in the top 48

ALL of the tracks spent weeks on the Top Songs Chart.

Additional spins on Folk Radio, College Radio and lots of stations that don't report. 

Thank you to ALL of the DJs from USA, Canada, Australia, UK, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, France, Croatia, Macedonia, and any others.

 Can you believe it has been a year since the stunning events of January 6th, 2021, at the US Capital? The effects of these events are still present and evolving, as facts about this day come to light. The fate of democracy itself hangs in the balance of the current investigation.This is why I wrote the song "January 6th" and took the trouble to produce it during the height of the Covid pandemic. 

This song is my attempt to inspire people to be vigilant in recognizing and opposing, lies, 'alternative truths,' and hate-based actions of any kind.
