"My songwriting is frequently inspired by nature, undoubtedly because I spent much of my childhood in the woods of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Massachusetts - bird-watching, mushroom hunting, fishing, camping, trapping, and turtle catching.  Although a "city adult" for work's sake my spiritual home has always been around lakes and forests, to which I escaped as often as possible.  The Berkshires were a frequent retreat when I was growing up, and the breathtaking vistas, seasonal variety, and flora and fauna have lived in my heart ever since. My (native Texan) wife Wendy and I made South Egremont our "forever home" last summer, and are exceptionally glad we did."
