My ‘Crossroads’ album is live
If you’ve been following my story on RestlessUrban, you know Crossroads is more than an album. It is a reflection of where I have been, what I have let go of, and what I am still learning.
At 58, I did not set out to chase trends. I set out to tell the truth. To honor the quiet moments of change and the often messy beauty of starting over.
Now, I am proud to share that Crossroads is available in a format that lets me take you deeper into that journey.

My minidisc gives you exclusive access to the full experience. Enjoy the studio debut of ‘Crossroads” for free on the link at the end of this post.
What you will receive
Original music
You will get two songs written from my own life:
- Crossroads — a reflection on what it means to choose a new path
- Two Nights in Memphis — a love letter inspired by a quiet road trip with Deb
- Instrumental track
- Crossroads (Instrumental) — a stripped down version that brings the emotion to the surface
Four reimagined cover songs
These are tracks that helped shape my story. Each one carries new meaning through my lens.
- Mr. Tanner (originally by Harry Chapin)
- A Pirate Looks at 40 (Jimmy Buffett)
- Arms of a Woman (Amos Lee)
- Death of an Unpopular Poet (Jimmy Buffett)
Official music videos
You will also receive three official videos for Crossroads, Two Nights in Memphis, and Mr. Tanner.
Bonus content
The minidisc includes full lyrics for every track, photos and videos from the recording process, and personal reflections that explain how each song came to life and why it matters.
Why this format
This minidisc is not a one-time release. The format is live, which means I can add new songs, videos, and personal stories as they are created.
When you order, you are not just getting what exists today. You are helping shape what comes next. Your support makes it possible for me to keep sharing.
Exclusive: ‘Two Nights in Memphis’ video available for limited time
For a limited time, the RestlessUrban community can stream the official video for “Two Nights in Memphis,” featuring Irish Mille, and hear the title track “Crossroads” before they are available anywhere else. After this exclusive preview ends, both will be accessible only through purchase of the Crossroads minidisc.
This early access is a heartfelt thank-you for the support you’ve shown throughout the journey.
