I am happy to be workingwith the Strings For A Cure Foundation, a charitable organization that makes unique jewelry from the guitar strings of select musicians that have been played in concert and donated to the foundation. The net proceeds from sale of the jewelry are used to fund the foundation’s efforts to educate, comfort and support cancer patients. As someone with personal and family experience with this I am happy to be able to help and support others in their time of need.

I have initially donated strings from three different concert events. Each of them was chosen because in addition to being great concerts musically they were special events to me in their own way.

Sept. 16, 2011 - Stage Door Cabaret Series at the Midland Theater, Newark, OH
Oct. 16, 2011 - Concert For Peace, Nakashima Foundation For Peace, New Hope, PA
Dec. 3, 2011 - Stretched Strings Concert Series, Doylestown, PA

IAMA has produced a podcast featuring some of the winners of the 7th Annual Acoustic Music Awards which includes my song ROSEWOOD ALLEY winner of Best Instrumental. They had the good taste to begin and end the podcast with ROSEWOOD ALLEY so you will get to hear it multiple times!  Listen to the Podcast
