Music!

Pianist Keith Snell
"Pour la main gauche seul." Santa Fe, New Mexico-based pianist and educator Keith Snell has recently been specializing in performing music composed "for the left hand alone." Including some composed by me!
Whisperings Solo Piano Radio
Whisperings is a one-of-a-kind Internet radio program featuring high-quality solo piano music, including me!

And Whisperings is also more than just an Internet radio station. It's a community of piano artists who have chosen to promote themselves as a group, rather than just individually.

The founder of Whisperings is pianist and composer David Nevue. David is also the author of How to Promote Your Music Successfully on the Internet, and the founder of The Music Biz Academy, an educational web site for musicians.
Mainly Piano
Kathy Parson's new website featuring her reviews and interviews with pianists spanning the last decade. If you like piano music, especially new age piano music, this is a fantastic resource.
Barbara Lister-Sink: Freeing the Caged Bird
My friend and mentor Barbara Lister-Sink is both an amazing and inspiring pianist, and an educator who has dedicated herself to helping all of us pianists play piano effortlessly, healthily and forever! Do you play piano? Do you ever have discomfort in/from playing? Do you want to have a big beautiful warm rich tone at the piano without hurting yourself to create it? This is the website to explore.
CD Baby
The best web source for music by independent artists. Browse there, your ears will thank you!
Iowa Composers Forum
As you might expect from the name, an organization of composers currently (or formerly, like me) living in Iowa. Info on ICF concerts, links to composer websites.

Artists!

Phyllis Khare
Who tells me what to do! And is quite a photographer and musician, as well.
Celeste Simon
One of my favorite artists, and (happily for me!) one of my best friends. Myth, magic, mystery, beauty -- Celeste's art has them all.
Cary Anderson
Alaskan photographer Cary Anderson created the beautiful photo of the Aurora Borealis on the cover of The Rebirth of Light and has many other stunning aurora and nature photos.
Brigitte Bruggemann -- New Mexico Artist
A great blessing in my life is that I am now able to have oil paintings by Brigitte gazing down on me as I compose and play my music. Brigitte sees her colors in harmony; I hear my music in color. And, like me, she's not afraid of beauty! Let's hear it for beauty in art!
