  "Songs in the Key of Awe" 
      
This fresh flock of songs are flying around the world.  It could NOT have happened without the help, prayers and financial support of so many via Kickstarter, my Tribe of Awe.

The first single, Life Begins Now, created momentum, being played from Australia to Alaska, Canada, Las Vegas, Ohio, Scotland, the Netherlands and more…

Please spread the word and urge your tribe to download Songs in the Key of Awe at iTunes or right here on my site.  Enjoy the awe.

                       Grieving?
​For those grieving the loss of a loved one, the world can seem hollow and colorless. 
 ​
If you, or someone you know, is facing life with a heavy heart, please consider getting or giving my book, Letter to a Grieving Heart, and the companion Cd, Songs to a Grieving Heart.  Both have been a source of comfort for many people.
 
I am making them available together at a very reduced rate, $19.99, shipping included (within the U.S.) Click the image below to purchase.

God bless,   Billy

      What's New?
     "N the Works"
Besides songwriting, I am always scribbling, incubating on a story or book. On this new page I will post some of them.  Click under the "N the Works" tab to find emerging projects.

One blossoming book keeps calling for my attention, so I will post chapters here as a way of taking steps to finish and publish it. I’m calling this one: 
 
             Sacred vs. Shinola
      Aiming the Hearts of my Children
            at What Matters Most 

For your reading pleasure (I hope) and the feeding and bountification of your soul, I have posted the opening chapter and two others:
                    Joy vs. Happiness
and one that seems fitting for this election season:
                  Leader vs. Politician 
which was actually written several years ago.  I invite your feedback and encouragement.
           

      Blog launches!

My new blog, Brain Blossoms, will be stuff I say inside my head that wants to get out about life, writing songs, books, poetry, painting, living artfully, maybe even some whispers from God.
​
I hope it feeds your soul, fills your sails, waters your own "blossoms of the brain" as Emily Dickinson called her poems.  So jump in.  Dig in.  Chime in to my
