I’ve started recording my covers as a way to capture what I can play at this moment in my life—welcome to 2025 Chapter 2! In this chapter, enjoy some songs from small artists (little image) and some from giants (Chappell Roan). I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I enjoy playing them.

I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I enjoy playing them.

Our June 2024 stop in Calais was a whirlwind of history, quirky adventures, and heartwarming moments that perfectly punctuated our European roadtrip. We only had one night here, a precious pause before our big Chunnel crossing the next day, and every minute was unforgettable. After checking into our historic hotel, we set off to explore
Known as the de facto capital of the European Union and headquarters of NATO, Brussels charmed us with its rich history, delectable food, and quirky urban design—even if navigating its pedestrian-first streets sometimes felt like a puzzle. Driving into Brussels downtown was an adventure. Our hotel was in the heart of a city where pedestrians
