Why does this website suck? This is a great question. I just started working on it very recently. I have started lots of websites that nobody has every seen. I decided that if I wait until this website is perfect, I would never share it. So here it is in the infant stages. Hopefully it will develop into something cool, unless I lose interest.
How can I join your mailing list? There is a form you can fill out, or if you send me a comment, there is a box you can check. It should be easy for you to unsubscribe, but if you have trouble, just send me a note and I’ll take you off the list manually.

3. If degrees impress you, I have have a doctorate in piano performance and a certificate in music theory.

4. Before you assume too much about me, I’ve played jazz and improvised music my whole life, probably since before you are born (in most cases).

I don’t normally like to brag about my credentials, but since you asked why you should listen, I answered.
