Music

From that first day at about age eight, when Thomas picked up his Norwegian grandmother’s antique bowl-shaped mandolin, he began to explore the notes and experiment with new music. He learned enough skills with piano, saxophone, clarinet, guitar, electric bass, upright bass, and recorder in his childhood and early teen years to express some of the inner music always running in his mind. He has refined his abilities with those tools, plus with his voice and his writer’s mind, to make new lyrics and music all his life. Debra, Thomas’ wife, is collaborator, co-author, and best critic and editor of this new Northland-inspired music. Her work is invaluable in making their music become real for performances and recordings.
