As you will see, there is a kind of slow end to my music writing. The final semester of my graduate school experience, 2008-2009, demanded my best and all. Concurrently, the industry that nurtured me, gave me work, and inspired me with its many passionate voice changed dramatically with the recession. I am working on finding a space for my voice in the new climate. Stay tuned.
