As the year 2023 comes to a close, I am filled with gratitude as I reflect on the remarkable experiences and achievements that have shaped my journey. It has been a monumental year, filled with unforgettable moments and significant milestones.

I had the privilege of starting and ending the year on a high note, with exhilarating performances on New Year's Day and New Year's Eve at Sweetwater Organic Farms. The energy of the crowd and the boundless optimism for the future filled me with excitement.

Undoubtedly, one of the standout moments of the year was my trip to London, where I had the pleasure of spending a wonderful afternoon with three exceptional artists: Charles Connolly, Dominic Piper, and David. The vibrant streets, rich culture, and iconic landmarks captivated my heart, leaving an indelible mark. The memories created during this trip will forever hold a special place in my soul.

May marked a significant turning point in my life as I embraced retirement. After dedicating several years to my career, I made a deliberate decision to shift my focus towards my family, music, and songwriting. The sense of liberation and possibility that retirement offered was invigorating, granting me the freedom to pursue my passions and enjoy a well-deserved break.

Adding to the excitement, I proudly released four singles throughout the year. Each song served as a unique expression of my artistry, deeply resonating with listeners around the globe and touching their hearts. The process of crafting these singles was immensely fulfilling, and I am profoundly grateful for the unwavering support and adoration of my fans.

In a moment filled with immense pride and joy, I received the prestigious accolade of Songwriter of the Year for my heartfelt composition, "Did You Cry?" This recognition not only validated my unwavering dedication to my craft but also highlighted the power of emotion and storytelling in music. It was an incredibly humbling experience and a testament to the profound connection my music has forged with people from all walks of life.

As I reflect on the growth, adventure, and personal milestones that have defined 2023, I am filled with profound gratitude. From the exhilarating New Year's performances to the captivating journey through London, the liberation of retirement, the release of my four cherished singles, and the honor of being crowned Songwriter of the Year, each experience has shaped me as an individual and artist. As I bid farewell to this transformative year, my heart brims with anticipation for the new experiences and boundless opportunities that lie ahead in the years to come. Happy New Year Peace and Blessings! Be kind Be a reflection of love! #123123

44 years ago today Terrapin Station was released. This album was born in a pretty magical way. Robert Hunter tells the story: "I wrote Terrapin, Part One, at a single sitting in an unfurnished house with a picture window overlooking San Francisco Bay during a flamboyant lightning storm. I typed the first thing that came into my mind at the top of the page, the title Terrapin Station. Not knowing what it was to be about, I began my writing with an invocation to the muse and kept typing as the story began to unfold. On the same day, driving into the city, Garcia was struck by a singular inspiration. He turned his car around and hurried home to set down some music that popped into his head, demanding immediate attention.”
