What's happening now...

Tra La, It's SPRING...
Time for "Cultivating Connections" & Other School Residencies
March through May, most weekdays find me doing songwriting and storytelling residencies at elementary schools throughout the Catskills and Hudson Valley -- and much of it on the garden theme. Lucky me.
Pix available from last autumn's residencies at Delaware Academy and South Kortright School. 

Here's a great new video about Mill Road School's garden -- featuring a song that Mrs. Flood's kindergarten class & I wrote last spring, and which we recorded with Grammy-winning producer Dean Jones.

Support ongoing Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts by purchasing the "Neighbor to Neighbor: Family Music for Sandy Relief" compilation, featuring Pete Seeger, Dan Zanes, Tom Chapin, Guy Davis & many other excellent musicians.  $10 only.    More details here.

And...I'm delighted & honored to be on Pete Seeger's recently released CD "A More Perfect Union" -- on the tracks "God's Counting on Me" with Bruce Springsteen, and "Somos el Barco" with Emmylou Harris.
