Afrobeat Rhythm Workshop -- 45 Minutes of Groove
Afrobeat songs last forty-five minutes because that's how long it takes to reach transcendence. I'll teach you the interlocking rhythms -- drums, percussion, bass, guitar, horns -- that create the groove. Everyone plays a pattern. Nobody plays the whole thing. Together, you are unstoppable.
Short Fiction Workshop -- Labyrinths of the Mind
We write stories that are puzzles. Stories where the form IS the content. A detective story that is also a metaphysical treatise. A book review of a book that doesn't exist. I'll teach you to write fiction that makes the reader think they are dreaming while fully awake.
Open Tuning Guitar Workshop -- Beyond Standard
I play in fifty different tunings because standard tuning bored me. I'll teach you DADGAD, open D, open C, and my own tunings that don't have names. Different tunings make the guitar a different instrument. One guitar, fifty voices.
Mini Excavator Rental (3.5 Ton)
Kubota KX91-3, 3.5 ton mini excavator. Rubber tracks, extendable arm, multiple bucket sizes. Perfect for residential foundations, pool digs, drainage work. I'll deliver it and show you the controls. Break something? Call me. I'll fix it.
General Repair Service -- If It's Broken, Bring It
Plumbing, electrical, mechanical, whatever. I've been fixing things since I could hold a wrench. Albert Kenel taught me: don't stare at it, fix it. Bring the broken thing. I'll tell you what's wrong in thirty seconds and fix it in thirty minutes.
Memoir Writing Workshop -- Your Story Matters
Everyone has a story that needs telling. I went mute for five years and then I couldn't stop talking. We'll work on memory, honesty, and the courage to write the parts that scare you. Those are the parts that matter. Bring nothing but yourself and something to write with.
Writing Workshop -- The Sentence as Architecture
We will take your sentences apart and rebuild them. A sentence is not just communication. It is music, rhythm, architecture. Every word earns its place or it leaves. I edited for twenty years before I published. Bring your best paragraph. We'll find out if it's really your best.
Gospel Vocal Technique Workshop
The church is where it all starts. I'll teach you to sing from the diaphragm, to bend notes, to build from a whisper to a scream that fills the room. Gospel technique is the foundation of all American popular music. If you can sing gospel, you can sing anything.
Songwriting Workshop -- Words First, Music Second
I write the words first. Always. The melody finds its way to the words. We'll work on imagery, metaphor, and the art of saying something so specific it becomes universal. Bring a notebook. Leave your guitar at home for the first session.
Scat Singing Workshop -- Voice as Instrument
Learn to improvise with your voice using syllables, rhythms, and melodic invention. No words. Just sound. I'll teach you the vocabulary of scat -- the bops, the doos, the ba-da-ba-das -- and then we throw the vocabulary away and you find your own.
Big Band Arrangement Workshop
Learn to write for a big band -- fifteen musicians, each with a voice. I'll teach you voicings, sectional writing, and how to make an orchestra swing. The secret: write for people, not instruments.
Trumpet Lesson -- Finding Your Sound
I don't teach you to play like me. I teach you to play like YOU. We work on embouchure, breathing, and most importantly -- phrasing. Phrasing is how you tell a story with notes. Anyone can play the right notes. The question is: can you make them mean something?
