Windows to Sky ("winds") has been helplessly plagued with music for

Creative influences include Joni Mitchell, Simon and Garfunkel, David Bowie, Suzanne Vega, The Pink Floyd, Steeleye Span, Robyn Hitchcock, Iron and Wine, They Might Be Giants, Glen Hansard, Violent Femmes, Stephen Sondheim, Howard Ashman, and a mouldering stack of old 78s and reel-to-reel tapes from childhood garage sales.
Like everyone, Windows to Sky has, of late, reevaluated this mad world and how to make a better, more meaningful life out of it.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have used my multimedia music technology skills to help over 250 artists, musicians, non-profits, businesses, religious groups, educators, and others to create and maintain meaningful online connections - through Zoom, YouTube, and so on. I have helped create hundreds of livestreams (and other such online experiences) of the sort that blossomed during lockdowns, and remain a vital part of our communication today.
