Art & Music / International Day of Peace

Because it’s the official “International Day of Peace”, and I seem to have a thing for peace, I thought I’d share some peacefulness with you … in the form of one of my paintings, and in the form of music, by my brother. It won’t save the world from its madness, but fitting some gentleness into one’s day sure can’t hurt. So take a moment, some nice deep breaths, and enjoy.

First established in 1981, September 21 is designated as an annual day of non-violence and cease-fire. The UN invites all nations and people to honor a cessation of hostilities during the Day, and to otherwise commemorate the Day through education and public awareness on issues related to peace.

Excellent Pickin' for the Holidays

More musical treats from David Saxton. Yes, he’s my brother, so sure, I’m probably biased. But ~ while I may be his biggest fan, I’m also not afraid to critique, and it’s from that place that I know that he’s got more talent in his left pinky than all the fingers and toes in a roomful of people. Enjoy!

For anytime:

For the holidays:

Guitar For The Ages

Audiences have long enjoyed his acoustic prowess “live” – but I am just so pleased to share this taste of David Saxton’s amazing talent more broadly now, via video. His sound is a little bit Leo Kottke and a touch of Michael Hedges ~ but he’s entirely his own. Composing since his teens, Dave makes music that’s rich, melodic, stirring and deceptively complex. Enjoy!
