A big thank you to all who have listened and added songs to their user stations. I have been unable to reach Soundclick for a very long time, so I have been unable to state those appreciations as they occur. So, while I have this window of opportunity, Thank You.

Contemporary Christian Music, Light Pop, Folk, and Instrumentals produced as best I can from the Laundry Room Studio using a Yamama PSR400 Keyboard, Yamama 30 Year Old Acoustic Guitar, and a Fostex MR8 Digital Recorder.
Why this name?
...to make my mama proud.
Do you play live?
Maybe, soon.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet and MP3's have made music of the independent artist readily available to anyone who knows how to click a computer mouse.
On the internet, music which doesn't get airplay on standard broadcast radio can be heard. I was listening to a polka the other day...Irish music before that...and a host of other genres that will not be heard anywhere else.
My music would not be heard anywhere else.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If one would have me, certainly.
Band History:
I have played in church groups, and several folk groups throughout the years, also a heathen Southern Rock band. At present, I am completely pre-recorded and pre-rehearsed.
Your influences?
A big fan of music from the 60's, I enjoyed The Beatles, The Association, The Turtles, and several other bands whose names start with "The".
In the 70's and 80's, I developed a love for Contemporary Christian music...Amy Grant, Dallas Holm, loved the harmonies of Harvest, The Imperials, and many others.
A good friend of mine plays guitar and helped me get started in that regard.

Put me on a beach and leave me alone.

Anything else...?
I have these songs, especially the Christian tunes, which were only available to a small circle of family and friends. I've been told "they are such a blessing" yet so few could hear them. Through this medium, I'm praying that many others may also be blessed. If not by "magnificent production abilities" then perhaps by the message and tone these songs convey. Since I believe the Spirit of the Lord is influential in the development of these songs, even those that are more pop than christian in nature, then He must want them and their message shared with others. Thatsa my job.
