So Near Yet So Far
The story of two local people in their 50s who match through online dating but haven’t yet met. There’s a strong connection, but they’re pacing it carefully. Familiar?
Lived experience and an inner poet, teamed with an AI session band and vocalist, bringing a new voice to my storytelling.

The story of two local people in their 50s who match through online dating but haven’t yet met. There’s a strong connection, but they’re pacing it carefully. Familiar?
The same couple, who still haven’t met in person, choosing to leave past disappointments in the rear-view mirror and look forward to the possibility of a relationship that already feels easy and comfortable.

I’m a lyricist and arranger starting my musical journey many years later than expected.
I spent a lot of my life disliking poetry because my mother was an English teacher, and then I was forced to translate French verse at university. Yet decades later, I publish translations of French poetry online, and I started writing songs for someone I hadn't yet met.
Words have always come naturally to me, and I have a good musical ear, but I have never had the means to bring them to life. At 55, AI gave me the session band and vocalist I needed to finally awaken the music I’ve carried inside me for a lifetime.
Start with the thing you are trying to say.
Close already, without pretending you are further along than you are.
When not rushing is part of what makes it feel right.
When the past still matters, but it no longer gets to steer.
Real history, real responsibilities, and still room for something new.
