I write classical music for a living for any/all types of soloists and ensembles. I love being creative for a living.

It’s official - Craig Counsell is not managing the @Cubs well at all. 1st & 2nd, no out. Don’t bunt. Don’t score. Cards: exact same situation. Do bunt. Score two

@Taylor_McGregor Re: CUBS. Could somebody PLEASE tell me why the Cubs don’t bunt when we have first and second with no one out? Especially when we’re slumping. Our Cubs announcers never comment about it. Drives me nuts. Thanks! :)

Tonight: Japanese premiere of my new Symphony No. 4, as performed by Musashino Academia Musicae wind ensemble, conducted by the venerable Ray Cramer. Rehearsal recordings are incredible! My sincere thanks to Ray for his interest, and his obvious study and dedication to the music!

Sending best wishes down to Florida tonight, and a big thank you to Chip Birkner for doing my Octet, paired with Stravinsky’s. Fun fact: Stravinsky’s Octet was premiered 100 years ago today - with Igor himself conducting. #octet #igorstravinsky #chambermusic

@TylerAki_ (regarding convo about afterlife): Would you rather see the Bears win the Super Bowl and go to hell, or see the Packers win the SB, and go to Heaven

@ComposerJim Hello! I'm an illustrator in Cincinnati. I've done work for the Cincinnati Pops, I've illustrated children's books (one published, one on the way), and tons of other projects.

Inquiry: The Naples Philharmonic will be doing my "Once Upon a Symphony" this fall - and I'd like to look into getting some illustrations created for the performances. If anyone is, or knows of, a good children's book illustrator, please share, contact me, etc. THANK YOU!
