Advent with Stu g (and Rabbi Joseph Edelheit) Day...
Time for another guest…
I met Rabbi Joseph Edelheit on a trip to India a few years ago. We met over lunch and hit it off immediately. I had just read a book by Rabbi Lawrence Kushner and was thrilled to talk with a real life Rabbi…we’re still talking today and Karen and I truly value his friendship and insight.
I spent a couple of days with him at St Cloud State University earlier this...

WatchAdvent with Stu g Day 13
This was taken from the OSS recording sessions for the Society ep. I was recording guitars on the song Beautiful Savior
Making music is supposed to be fun - one thing that marks OSS is fun in the studio.
We are aware that we don’t get to play out that much and would like to remedy that next year, but we are working together all the time. Just this week I was...

It was the first song I wrote with Mia Fieldes.
The ambient guitar loop is the one I recorded on the OSS session using my Jam Man and I use it when we play live.
hope you enjoy it

WatchAdvent with Stu g Day 9
I posted on my facebook page the other week if there were any requests for these christmas blogs. I had quite a few folks ask for acoustic versions of songs.
I’ve been playing more acoustically lately, mainly in the company of our amazing friends The Stellas (though they are so good it makes you want to give up!)
I thought it would be fun to record a few of these...

Advent with Stu g (and Ian Cron) Day 8
Open the door on my alternative advent calendar today and you’ll find a guest writer.
Ian Cron is becoming a great friend. He is an author, a speaker, a psychotherapist, an Episcopal priest, he guides retreats, he loves liturgy and Eucharist.
I would describe him as a contemplative mystic.
Karen and I have loved getting to know him and his wife Anne this year, they moved into Franklin around...
