Dear Friends, WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE, PLEASE ENJOY THE GALLERY AND CHECK OUT THE SILVER ARM SITE AS WELL. YOU CAN NOW VISIT ME AND THE BAND ON TWITTER AND FACBOOK! "Spiralia" , a ballet based on my children's book, was a huge success recently, thanks to Ballet Tech Ohio at the Aronoff Center in Cincinnati. It was choreographed by Claudia Rudolf Barrett with original music added by Ian Barret and traditional tunes by Silver Arm. Many thanks to the dancers who brought the story to life. A video is being produced by ballet tech Ohio. To download a children's coloring page from the book "Little Town of Spirals" go to our Little Town Fund page. NEW!
