December: A Song For The Season
December: A Song For The Season
What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love & Understanding?
And somehow, it is December! Thank you for turning the pages of my calendar this year. It’s been a bumpy ride, but sharing my music and musings with you each month has been a real pleasure.

Wishing you a peaceful holiday meanwhile,
