About Ian

Always looking for something new….

I grew up in the Deep South of the United States in the streets where Dr. King walked (Montgomery, Alabama), in the streets of New Orleans (good place to learn to sing!), and in the backwoods of Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.

As I sing in one of my songs:

Time in the woods with people in the San Juan Island Road Scholar program, as a group leader.

Many a song’s been sung, and many a story told…
All the lessons, all the pain, all the gravel in the road.
Behind every window, there’s a door – stay up late & sing one more.
Until the time for leaving, I’m not gonna change the key…

And the road continues, in the words of Harry Chapin:

No straight lines make up my life, all my roads have bends – 
No clear cut beginnings, so far no dead ends.

It’s been fun, and there’s plenty left to do! I’m convinced that the only thing that matters is that we all work together to share & heal….and things will turn out all right.

If you’re thinking of a project you’d like to work on together, I hope to hear from you! If you’re a previous client, call & let me know how things are going! And if we’ve worked together in class or a workshop, I love hearing how things turned out…drop me a line.

Thanks for dropping by the site!
