Singer/songwriter from Portland Oregon.
I am a singer/songwriter, guitarist, pianist and vocalist from Portland Oregon. My training is actually in jazz trumpet and orchestral conducting, and my background in jazz history, theory and improvisation, but I love dabbling in just about everything musical.

Lyrics
What would I do if I were you I wouldn’t ask me what to do My days of being a know-it-all are over What would I say if some fine day You heard the call and joined the fray Of lemmings leaping from the cliffs of Dover You might go running back to quarterbacks Whose letter sweaters you wore like badges of honor Before the war was over You might keep trying to find a word that rhymes With your oblivion, closet it all away With your Christmas decorations Make a choice, don’t lose your voice Screaming at the walls that you built before the fall You’re out of time, speaking out of line The night train is rolling away The TV and telephone Remind the whole world that you’re alone And so was I before that long September It’s like quotations by Voltaire “We make up God out of thin air” And is your God the life that you’ve invented? You might go spinning down but never drown In waters raging, waves as tall as mountains Sink in your forever You might go rising toward savior and Lord But never find your salvation in forgiveness You’ll regret it in the morning Make a choice, don’t lose your voice Screaming at the walls that you built before the fall You’re out of line, speaking out of time Your chances are slipping away That’s my advice for the ones who are lonely That’s my advice so just please take it lightly
