Happy Release Day!
I’m looking forward to you all listening to my new album, In Times Of Dragons. 
This is a metaphorical story about the fight for democracy over tyranny.  We really don’t know how this American experiment of democracy is going to end up. I’m a pragmatist. I’m not an optimist. I’m not a fatalist. But as a songwriter I needed to hear the clarion call and just say, - to quote Cornflake Girl - this is not really happening? You bet your life it is. 
I would love to know which song speaks to you the most in the comments below. 
 
hugs, t

Join us for a special community screening of When Everyone Swims, a feature-length documentary that explores the vital, life-saving importance of water literacy. Through powerful personal narratives and insights from Olympic athletes and water safety experts, the film highlights why access to safe places to swim should be a universal right, not a privilege.

By sharing stories of triumph and resilience, When Everyone Swims celebrates the healthy, life-affirming relationship that individuals from all backgrounds can build with the water.
