Music from Gratitude featured on Nightcrossings!
Mari Detrixhe sent a copy of Gratitude to Radio Kansas. (Thank you, Mari!) I recently received an email from Michael Ables, Nightcrossings producer at Radio Kansas.

A New Declaration of Independence!
This has been an exciting adventure working with "Thomas Paine" AKA Bob Basso in his "New Declaration of Independence" from the center of the continent, and heart of America, in Osborne, KS. I premiered my new piano arrangement of "Home on the Range", which was originally written not far from here in Smith Center, KS.
