Well, here we go. Some days I think I'm the last person not blogging. This should take care of that.

Welcome to my blog! I'm starting it mostly as a way to let people keep up with my big summer trip this year (2008), but we'll have to wait and see what happens after that.

I'm a large (six feet, eight inches, although I claim eight feet on cruising profiles), kilt wearing (mostly Utilikilts) musician (conductor, composer, pianist, etc.), working in the Tucson, Arizona area. I'm the artistic director of Tucson's Desert Voices, the local GLBT chorus. I'm also the music director, pianist, and organist for Saguaro Christian Church, the choral director and pianist for Temple Emanu-El, and one of the staff pianists for Ballet Tucson.

So here we are. This isn't going to be some big weighty exploration of issues and things that I wrestle with, it's just going to be a journal of travels, events, and fun people and things I encounter along the way. There are enough other places to get weighty issues explored.

In other words, no politics (which will be difficult in an election year, but I'll try), no religion (even though I'm employed primarily as a church/synagogue musician), and as little sex as I can manage (I can't promise none, but I'll do my best to keep it PG-13 or better).

Feel free to ask questions, and enjoy the blog!

Chris.
