Welcome

It's a strange business contemplating what to write in this blog. My initial thoughts were to start by talking about rhythm in music, an obsession of mine, but my wife Jeannie suggested to me that this might be unduly technical. Another option is to relate to you an unending series of triumphant performances and to tell you how many people were moved to tears by the beauty of my playing, but that's not my style. Since you are reading this at all, I assume you have some interest in my concertising so I will talk a bit about this concert and that concert but I expect that the more significant focus of the blog will be on the experience of being a musician. I find it a marvellously fulfilling job, an incredible way to connect to myself and to others. And maybe we'll get around to rhythm in due course.
