carol

My first love in life is my family. This is Carol--God's 2nd best gift to me.

Ben

This is Benny, my oldest, with a moose. Ben says, "Save somebody else for it."

Becca

Rebecca is Benny's big little sister. She is now Dr. Weinberg.

Isaac

Next to my family, my love is dogs--
more specifically, poodles!
This is Isaac. He makes us laugh again.

boyos

There's also Bizet and Kookaburra the cat [both RIP].

as well as dear departed Marmalade--hiding on top of the fridge.

dog poodle

There are dogs...and then there are poodles.

beatles

Just like there are rock bands...
and then there's the Beatles!

piano

After my family & pets, my big love in life is music. I've been tickling the ivories since I was 5.

organ

As a teenager, I fell in love with the pipe organ,
a machine with several keyboards and hundreds of keys,
buttons, pistons, knobs and tablets played with all the limbs!

kells

Celtic music is my favorite non-classical style: Irish & Scottish music as exemplified by The Chieftains.

tulipsflowers

After the fam, pets & music, I love to garden and landscape with my wife at our house in Brentwood. 150 years ago, my backyard was part of a huge plantation. We call the soil "chocolate pudding."

AGO

I'm a Yankee Jew. So what am I doing being a church organist in the South?!

It wasn't really my idea.

I spend a crazy amount of time working on this site!

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a herpetologist. I had an alligator, chameleons, turtles & snakes as pets! (click to enlarge)

But that didn't happen, because...
construction
...like this site, life is a work in progress.

Take me home,

Poodie!
