Thank you for coming to visit. I hope you enjoy your time here. Feel free to leave a message or email...I'd love that.
I am a songwriter and have recorded my songs acapella...with the intent of getting them out of my head and into some ears. They are *rough demos*, recorded here at home. Some of the songs have been produced. I leave them all parked here, to see where they will go...so you will find coal and diamonds on my music page.
I'd love to have the right people continue to put some excellent music to my lyrics. I see them as diamonds 'in the rough' and know they've got some great potential. That's the way I hear it in my head. It is coming to fruition!

I have been writing songs for a long time as a creative outlet. I have recently been driven to get more serious with getting my songs 'out there'. I know it is time to take them off the shelf. The future of my efforts are hopefully going to blossom and be fragrant. Whatever God does with them is alright with me.
Update--I had my first song recorded a couple of years ago by a gal named Cyndie Mace; then with MMissary, and more recently I've been blessed to work with Deb Rempel, Douglas Moore, Art N Von and The Taylor Family. I am so humbled and honored for these opportunities...and lifelong, 'keep forever' friends.

Update-June 06
I was a winner in The CSN Collaboration Challenge!
Douglas Moore, Rachel van der Hoek and myself entered a song called I WILL LEAD YOU. It won 3rd place!
My second team, Deb Remple, Dale J. Mayer, Cindy Peterson and myself entered another, MERCY RAIN that won 5th place.
As a new collaborator it was an honor to work with such fine people...and a treasure of learning experience.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet opens doors for the Indie Artist. We have possibilities at our fingertips with such a vehicle to get this great message out there. Online collaborations and in home studios tip the scales in favor of the 'little people' such as myself. I'm amazed by the net's possibilities. ...how else would a 'nobody' have their music heard? :) For me, it's a major blessing. We find our peers and mentors, collaborators and make polished products that speak in their own right.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If the right opportunity presented itself...one made in Heaven.
Your influences?
Daddy had his music playing. It was quite the collection of country, western and bluegrass records. As I grew older I began to suspect this music coursed through my veins as well. Evenso, I'm flexible. Most songs I write could be bent into a variety of genres. But to answer the question- first, there's God.
Patsy Cline, Aretha Franklin, Elvis, Dolly, Loretta, Bonnie Raitt, Norah Jones, The Judds, Eagles, Marty Robins, John Prine to name a few.

Favorite spot?
The Blue Ridge Mountains remain an all-time favorite place. I recently fell in love with Cincinatti. I love seeing new places...want to see it all. I'd like to see Nashville then again any beach atall will do.
My absolute favorite place-mama's house on her big wrap around southern style front porch swing...especially blissful with coffee and laughter...or if it's raining. :)
My ultimate favotite spot is being in the presence of God. Nothing like it......

Anything else...?
I give God credit and glory for everything. Without Him, I am soooo lost and undone.
