My guest Yolande Brener currently in New York was introduced to me by a UK artist Daniele J. Minns. I saw their short collaborative film Death and Beauty and contacted Daniele who introduced me to Yolande. I so love meeting new artist friends through the lens of creativity. It is such a rich and delightful way to explore thoughts and ideas and feelings. Yolande has so many ways of expressing herself. She provided an insightful look at how to keep creativity central and bouyant in her life and she also inspires this same encouragement for her students. To find out more about Yolande:

My guest is Writer and Storyteller Dougie Strang. We discuss his new book The Bone Cave (A Journey Through Myth and Memory). Dougie has wonderfully captured an amazing camping adventure incorporating place names and ideas from Scottish folklore and at the same time shared his love and kindness seamlessly with ecology and his own personal history — magically as the folk tales themselves. I felt invited in traveling right alongside Dougie , and I’m so thrilled to invite you into our conversation! To find out more:

My guest for this Encouragement Session of the Creative Engagement podcast is Tom Purtill. It is easiest for me to encourage songwriters being a songwriter myself. Tom brings a real sense of openness to collaboration. We met in the context of a gathering where we were both performing original songs and I invited Tom to record in my home studio.  After the interview you are invited to listen to Tom's song that we recorded called, "I Found It Under There".

My guest host this episode is a longtime friend, Artist, Coach and Instructional Designer Melissa Padgett. Melissa suggested that she would be interested in interviewing me and after some initial resistance I viewed this as another example of innovation. Melissa explores a variety of art forms and is a deeply curious and creative artist and you can tell we share many values and perspectives.

Is this it? An opener probably. Likely a quartet/ensemble dependent upon show and casting. https://youtu.be/L2E4S7NqVto?si=6zGPG0CvzbnRPQGT

Turn the corner - a solo ballad - being (left) alone in later life.  This is a lovely cover of the original by guitarist and singer John Davies - included to show the song but also to have a different interpretation/instrument in the mix https://youtu.be/e9HVJnv2hrs?si=9ESu0RyXxb5j-ta0

Running with Georgie - solo - a song about ageing/Alzheimer's and the safety of memory. https://youtu.be/pQyAh8RAvho?si=qLhgrDrcBXwPjAwV
