Lyrics by a talented autistic teenager, a non-speaker who wants the world to know that non-speakers are intelligent and capable.

This was a wonderful project to work on. I hope it gets shared far and wide.

Here's a new guitar improvisation in the Broken Pieces series. These improvisations are a kind of meditation. I play freely (this time based around an A pedal) and then record a response. They are unedited and reflect my mood in the moment. youtu.be/tmOImZgGKPk

My latest improvisation in the series "Broken Pieces". I find the act of having a musical conversation with myself quite cathartic. These pieces are made in the spirit of music therapy and are not meant to be pretty (or ugly). They are a kind of meditation and reflect moods and emotions in the moment.

Among the first batch of 100 albums is Blue Note 1600, the debut of The 3 Sounds. This is notable because it's one of the only albums I've seen Down Beat award zero stars to. Please follow this account for future updates. #jazz

I would love to know more about this. I've had parents swear by S2C and have even recorded a song written by a teenager using the method. Is it a scam? Where can I get further info?

@arfness for sure. There is no credible opposition. And there is no credible party on the left. It's all rather disheartening at the moment.
