I am a full time musician based in western South Dakota. My goal is to create music that brings a measure of peace and comfort into the lives of those who hear it.
I know that sounds grandiose... but this is my passion in music and in life. I am SOOO grateful that God blessed me with the ability to see and hear the music of life...
Lastly to all who visit this profile... thank you so much for blessing me with friendship!

"Reflection" is almost completed!!!:
With each passing day I am getting closer to completing my upcoming CD release "Reflection." It started a little over year ago in the month of August 2006 and from that point on it has been quite the learning experience. It's something that I have grown to appreciate and the skills I have gained during this time are only going to make this release even better. To say the least, I am excited about this release!!!
If you are interested in previewing what I have available at this time... go to: http://members.soundclick.com/station/478455
It won't be long before "Reflection" is released!!! Stay tuned :-)

While Aubrey Sleeps:
I was playing round with a double capo set up on my Taylor 512C-NG Guitar, sitting quietly on the couch. It was a COLD, cold morning here in western South Dakota and I had ‘Beau,’ my Dalmatian/German Shepherd to my right and ‘Aubrey’ my Weimaraner sitting to my left. It was warm and cozy with my little ones nearby!
As I quietly played my guitar, Aubrey started to fall asleep and she looked so content and peaceful. It touched my heart to see that because she wasn't treated very well by her previous owners and there have been times that she would violently shake when she would sleep.
Knowing her past, I prayed for Aubrey. Not with words... but with the notes on my guitar.
I asked God ...

Drifting into the sublime:
Greetings… this is the very first post on my new blog which will feature the process of writing and recording my next instrumental release on Many Miles Music/Wind & Wheat Music… presently titled, “Reflection.”
You may be wondering about the title of this blog? I took it from a song I am working on… one that I chose to call “Drifting into the sublime.”
I am of Eskimo decent… on my mom’s side of the family. Of course “Verheecke” isn’t eskimo… it’s Belgian, which is my dad’s side of the family. Anyway… from what I understand, my Mother’s childhood was pretty tragic. So tragic that she often avoided talking about that time in her life. It was too painful! As a result… I’ve never known muc...

Hey Ken,
Just stopping by to see how everything's going on your end. I've got a lot going on here, but it's nice to take a break and check on other people. Plus, it's been an awful long time since we've spoken.
I'm glad you enjoy you acoustic as much a I do mine brother 
God Bless
Ron
