Cubicle Blues Cubicle Blues
It's about time the white collar workers had a blues tune of their own. To all you 'Dilberts' out there - Enjoy and Good Luck!
Another Lifetime Another Lifetime
This song is about meeting someone for the first time, and feeling a connection as if you knew them from another lifetime.
I have been playing keyboards of one sort or another since the age of seven, when I fell in love with the girl next door. Since she was taking piano lessons, I though it might be romantic to learn piano too so that we could play duets together.
The "romance" didn't last and I got stuck with the piano lessons.
Eventually I came to love playing the piano and moved on to various electronic instruments.
I really get a lot of enjoyment out of making music, performing, composing, and playing with friends (like Open Road http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pageartist.cfm?bandID=158427)
I also appreciate feedback on my songs both good and bad as long as it is constructive.Have you performed in front of an audience?I do play live from time to time, but have been off the stage for the past year or two. Lately I have been getting the urge to get back out there.
I have been fortunate to have had many opportunities to play gigs. There are a lot of memories both good and bad. On the way to one gig, after we came through the mountains, we discovered that the brakes on the van had failed.
Your musical influences
There have really been too many to list all of them, but here are a few including those you would never have heard of.
the late Robert F. Noonan - a great piano teacher who taught me how to perform, and improvise.
George Moonogian - a great lover of Blues, R&B, Boogy etc... He inspired me thorough his love of music. He even taught me a chop or two.Contact

Cubicle Blues is very well done =) catchy stuff =)
Listened to both songs, enjoyed them both but partial to the story, harmonies and muscianship in Another Lifetime. Will come back to hear more when you post. Keep up the good work!
