Tears in the Sky (Oct 20/06) Tears in the Sky (Oct 20/06)
A fun result of playing with a guitar sound; I ended up creating a little guitar piece, and then throwing vocals over top, making it up pretty much as I went along.
World You Dream Of World You Dream Of
Just playing around late at night and composed & performed this on the spot in a couple hours. Experimenting a bit with singing in the lower part of my range. A bit of an 80s feel.
Rivers Rivers
My personal favourite - a somewhat earthy, gospel folk song. I redid some of the classical guitar parts on July 14/15, 2005. I'm no classical guitarist, but I think it's an improvement over the original version.

I'm primarily a songwriter - I've written roughly one thousand songs since about age 12. I listed myself as folk, but in truth I do a broad variety of stuff - quasi-prog, folk, rock, and too-difficult to classify. My major project I'm currently working on is called Metanarrative, and incorporates folk, quasi-classical, semi-Gregorian, art rock and more. The important thing to me is not genre, but beauty. Good melody, pleasing vocals (often with lush harmonies), musical balance. And thoughtful, artful lyrics.Have you performed in front of an audience?I don't play live very often. Occasionally I do for a handful of people, but I'm not presently pursuing the proverbial "gigs."
Your musical influences
I have been influenced by a very broad spectrum of music, so some of the background may be subtle. An early Christian folk-rocker named Don Franscisco was an early influence, and in the old days (1980s) U2 rubbed off some. But if the question is what is my favourite music, largely prog with a heavy dosage of classical content - Kansas, Spock's Beard, Proto-Kaw, Neal Morse, Kamelot and so on.What equipment do you use?
My present gear is basically guitars: 1976 Morris W616 (acoustic 6-string); Carvin DC400 (electric); Rodriguez Model A (classical). I now record on Sonar Producer Edition.Anything else?
