Description This is a set of my favorites outta the recording process over the last 15 years or so. Sound quality might not be that great & I never expect to win mixing awards..But I am happy with everything being they are all first takes.Nothing here was planned, written down, or prerehearsed.It's just a musical expression of how I feel at the moment.

History Been playing what feels like an eternity..I could give you some specialized chronological history..with a list of CDs...or I can just say I was born .. came out with a guitar in my hand... and played the star spangled banner....would you believe it?...anyways...for this section (History) I like to clue the world in on my life. Well you call it sharring I call it therapy. Everything I see & hear and experience becomes a part of my sound..from the jiberish of people dribbling on about nothing to the most serious of matters. Mostly affairs of the heart from hurts & scars of the love battlefield. some pretty heart wretching stories out there. We all have our share. no one ever feels like they will survive the first casualty. Nor the last. I guess it all hurts pretty much the same. And even though the silence is golden when it's all said & done..You always feel your missing your other half at times when your alone. You continue searching knowing the last is only a stepping stone.I sympathize with all who know this feeling.. It happens way to much in a lifetime if you ask me..Some never learn to settle differences..or embrace them as is...Sometimes it's a matter of stuborn pride... holding on to old ideas & old ways never to see beyond their own little world of selfishness...then those that simply slip off without a trace..It amazes me what the spirit has to endure to become oneself. That being said...It's a strong form of my influences throughout my history of playing..that is probably the time my music is most effective or liked by the public .Is when I reach the lowest of low points in my life...if you want to know the feeling behind what I play.. It's a tough one to sum up in just a word..but its the feeling of laughing & crying all at once... you laugh from the fact of the miseries you lose... and cry in sadness from the heartbreak of the loss...I have searched for words in several languages to describe this feeling with very little sucess..

I have played live off & on for years since I was 15. Ususally on someone else's material. Have been in a menagerie of bands. Everything from classical to gangsta rap. ALso performed live for over 15 years as a magician in night clubs here in Atlanta.

God this would be a long list. Dixie Dreggs, Steve Morse, Al Dimeola, Frank Zappa, Steve Vai, Pat Metheny Group, Rush, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Jean Michele Jarre, Yes, Trever Rabin, Joe Satriani , Yngwie Malmsteen, Mahogany Rush, Hendrix, Joe Pass , Michael Franks, Sade, Miles Davis, Emenim, Obie Trice, Ice Cube, Canabis, Seal, Bethoven, Mozart, Elvis, Doobie Brothers. These are what I listen too and hear reflected in my sound in some shape form or fashion. how ever big or smal the usage may be. It has helped me to describe whatever feeling I have at the moment. My music is made from the spontanaity of the moment. Just a passing thought I desperatly try to grasp before the thought slips away.

If ya really want to know leave a comment on the tune.. I use all kinds o stuff. I play guitar , bass drums, keyboards, violins, cello, flute, piano,canter, darbuka, and anything I can borrow.

Unique site thus far. Nice to be asked what I think. (As if it matters.)
