It's my first venture into the country world, a beach song with an ironic twist about the very real threats of climate change.

This week's #TunesOnTuesday is a tribute to two online musical communities that have made me a better musician and songwriter. Shoutout to #FAWM and the #facebook group #JamOfTheWeek. When a #blues week comes up on the jam, as it did this week (number 488!), I usually write a new blues song. https://ohljazz.com/2023/07/18/tunes-on-tuesday-my-own-worst-enemy/ #songblog #jazzblog #musicblog #jazz #jazzmusic #songwriter #songwriting #composer #lyrics #piano #jazzpiano #music #musician #instamusic #performance

Meanwhile in Bedminster, someone's having a strong reaction to receiving a letter. Condiments will fly...
My first #TunesOnTuesday on Threads! This week's tune is the second song I competed based on the weekly Torah portions in the Jewish tradition. Shoutout to @miriamanzovin for inspiring this musical retelling of the story of the daughters of Zelophehad (Parashat Pinchas, Numbers 27). http://ohljazz.com/2023/07/11/tunes-on-tuesday-what-about-us/

#TunesOnTuesday previews a new #songwriting project based on prompts drawn from the weekly #Torah portion in the #Jewish tradition. This is the first complete song, based #Leviticus (Vayikra) 1:10, where the priests are called to make a burnt sacrifice that creates "a pleasing odor." The song that came from that prompt has nothing to do with priests but does relate to sacrifices. Happy to hear your thoughts on the song and the project. http://ohljazz.com/2023/05/30/tunes-on-tuesday-a-pleasing-odor/ #songwriter #composer #lyrics #music

#TunesOnTuesday goes back to St Croix with a song I wrote for the Caribbean Museum Center for the Arts to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their museum space in Frederiksted (also known as Freedom City).
