Here are some songs written, performed, recorded by me in my humble (and humbling) home studio. I play all sorts of stuff, from ornery rock to children’s music and love it all. This is a selection of a few singer-songwriter-ish stuff and acoustic instrumentals. Listen, enjoy.
After a very short time as a sound click artist, I was pleasantly shocked to see that people have listened to the music. Some even downloaded it. Sharing my music is exactly what I was hoping to do, but I was still pretty surprised to think that total strangers might be enjoying my songs, so, thanks!
Please leave even a short note so that I can know who is listening in and I can bring the process full circle by listening to the music you are making, too.

Band/artist history
History:
1971 Birth of "the band".
1972 "The band" learns to talk.
1973-80 "The band" writes a lot of weird songs with my mom and brother, mostly in the back seat of a crappy green Plymouth duster.
1981 "The band" receives a gift of two record albums from my mom: Simon and Garfunkle's "Sounds of Silence" and Village People's "Live and Sleazy," and all sorts of musical conflations ensues.
1980 "The band" acquires a guitar.
2005 "The band" slaps up some original songs on Sound Click in an effort to share some of the joy and madness of live.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I love playing live. I've gotten to play, really, all over the world in some of the least glamorous situations you could imagine and in some fairly cool situations, too. Right now I live in Italy and my song "Coco Fresco, Coco Bello" always has them singing because it has a few words that everyone can understand. I just have to laugh; it feels awesome to have a bunch of people singing words I wrote in Italian.
Your musical influences
When I can sound just like the point of musical equidistance between The Violent Femmes, Michael Hedges, Oasis, and John Denver, then I will have really arrived.
What equipment do you use?
I use a lot of different equipment. I use pencil sharpeners. I use a refrigerator (a LOT), mirror, a Guild F50R guitar, shampoo (sometimes), condensor microphones, helper robots, and a harmonica. Probably others, but I can't think of them right now.
