I am looking forward to helping new parents create a lasting gift that they can share with their newborn child. As a father of a two year old, and another child on the way, I know the amazing emotional and spiritual swell that overtakes ones soul when a newborn enters your life. To be a part of that, especially in a musical way, is a special gift that I cannot wait to share.
