A performer since the age of 9, I've been fortunate to have had the opportunity to fill most of the dreams I've ever had with music. Starting out with my family, I sang for ten years, then went to college as a music major. Along the way I taught myself bass guitar, guitar and keyboards. After college, I played in bands for years then got the chance to work in studios in St Louis and Kansas City. I've also written reviews for regional music magazines, a weekly music scene column for a local paper, had a music PR company, worked for indie labels as well as owning one of my own. Now, in my early 40s...a father to three step-childrena and a young daughter...music is less a vocation than a passion. I hope to get back to performing more eventually, but for now life is for living. There will be time to reflect on it in song later. I hope you enjoy the music you find here. I'm excited at the prospect of being able to bring it to you.

Story behind the song
Worked at a music store at the time....a buddy there was having trouble with his girlfriend. I used his situation as the basis for the lyrics
Lyrics
You cradled my heart In the palm of your hand You told me you loved me Said that I was your man I drifted on like one of the lost Only later did I learn the cost You gave me warmth you didn't feel inside Your lips stayed soft as your eyes grew hard As the flame of our love died I'm gonna fly away from here While I can While there's still a part of me That feels like a man I'm tired of giving everything You just take I've finally earned my wings girl I'm gonna fly away Looking at you Looking at me Kept me wishing That I couldn't see How everything that I did for you Hit this wall I could never break through I swear to you there was nothing I didn't try But like a creature of the night You tore me up Tried to bleed me dry I'm gonna fly away from here While I can While there's still a part of me The feels like a man I'm tired of giving everything You just take I've finally earned my wings girl I'm gonna fly away I can't believe that I held out hope for tomorrow Since you held out on all our yesterdays I've finally had my fill of your kind of sorrow Seen the price on your ticket, girl.... And I'm not gonna pay I'm gonna fly away from here While I can While there's still a part of me That feels like a man I'm tired of giving everything You just take I've finally earned my wings girl I'm gonna fly away
