One of the most enjoyable parts of my live show is StoryTime. I ask the audience to close their eyes and imagine a character, setting, or era while I play a narrative chord progression and improvise a melodic plot for the scenes that might be unfolding in their minds. At the conclusion of the song, I ask folks to open their eyes and share what they saw. It's a rich and engaging experience and the stories are varied and brilliantly creative.
