Welcome to my support page.
In response to the dramatic changes to the landscape that musicians face, I began livestreaming, from home, a few weeks into the COVID pandemic. Soon thereafter I started the weekly "Escape, From Home" piano hour that continues, on Tuesday evenings at 7pm(ET) on my Facebook page. This has become its own thing, reminiscent of the years I played the piano room at JRs Pub in Chestertown, MD, with a virtual community; listening, socializing and sharing the space. More recently, I added a livestream on Wednesday evenings titled "Inside the Process", where I share from my perspective and experience. The connections that music facilitates are why I play the piano professionally. And I've been blessed to do this my entire (working) life, with no intention of stopping now. In a restaurant environment, the tip jar sweetens the deal for the musician. In a livestream, such as mine, the tip jar (in it's various manifestations) is everything. So I am most grateful to all who "drop a tip in the jar". There are 3 ways to do this:
- A one time tip via PayPal
- A sponsorship on Patreon (more info below)
- A check via snail mail
If you choose to become a Patron (sponsor on Patreon) and support my efforts with a recurring tip (once/month), you will receive recorded content (unlisted YouTube links, downloads that are yours to keep, and more) exclusive to those who regularly provide support.
