An old man was walking on the beach and noticed that a little girl was busy picking up stranded starfish and said, “the beach is so long and there are so many starfish it can’t possibly help the starfish to throw them back into the ocean.” She replied, “Well, if I don’t throw them back they will die.” “Well, there are so many it won’t make a difference,” exclaimed the old man. While tossing one back into the water, the little girl replied “I am sure it makes a difference to this one!”

There's Always Room For Cello
Welcome to my blog. I am a 65 year old solo cellist who has been touring the world for the last 40 years playing almost everywhere of note in the classical music scene alongside many of the greatest musicians. Over all these years, I have accumulated many stories, opinions, and insights, and gifts of the spirit as well as objects. It has been and still is incredibly inspiring work and even though I consider myself “techno-challenged” I wanted to have an outlet to share everything.
I plan to use this blog to organize these experiences so, over time, they can be easily found and retrieved. Having an outlet to share experiences along with my observations and outlook on the rapidly changing world of classical music is enormously appealing. I invite, and encourage, you to write back and comment or ask questions and I will do my best to respond whenever I can. I hope to have a number of lively discussions!
