Soloist. Songwriter/singer. ASCAP member. There is an extensive interview of me done by Scott Crawford, at http://www.mybigblackcock.com/archives/104". Please do not let the site name alarm you. It is an "adult-themed music and entertainment" site. It is not a porn site, and you will not get tagged for spam if you go there. Scott is a journalist of integrity, who asked pertinent and penetrating questions, then printed my answers verbatim.
