It has been a good few years since the ND Guitar Pilgrim has been added to. Transitioning from Ireland back to the United States, settling into a new hometown, recovering from a global pandemic and facing the worst storm in recorded history of Western North Carolina has proved to be something of an endeavor.
But we have a new home in the mountains. Our Irish friends would ask "Are ye settled?" And now, unequivocally, we can say "Yes."
Much has taken place, personally and professionally, since our move to the Appalachian Mountains. I continue to write for GIA/WLP (I just had a new piece accepted by GIA, a new anthem setting of the traditional hymn Abide With Me); Michele and I have contributed to The Liturgical Press, and right now I'm crafting musical commentary for Liturgy Training Publications.
Most of you know that I'm now the Director of Music for St. James Episcopal Church in Black Mountain, North Carolina. (I'll write more about this in the future). But as I did back in 2012, Michele and I will be headed over to Europe for five weeks (Weddings! Connemara! River cruise! Notre Dame de Paris!). So a travelogue is about to begin again.
Stay tuned.... this site is back in business!
