I write the songs that no one sings. When i got together with me, I had to face two problems, one, I don't play the piano and two, I'm not a musician. I am an improv guy. I have been performing and teaching improvisation for over twenty years. So one day I decided to use the same training to make up music. At Christmas of 2006 I sat down in front of garage band and began playing the guitar and learning the piano while I recorded. In 20 days I wrote 15 songs. Now I have well over 40 and decided that I would put them on a C.D called "Dark and Wanky" It is rough and raw but I think some really nice stuff came out.Have you performed in front of an audience?I love playing the guitar and singing but I have never performed as a band.
