I write, perform and record all my music alone using Ableton Live in my home studio. I see a music "renaissance", where musicians create songs and albums start to finish without the need of a rented studio, studio musicians, producers and the music industry. The new musicians play guitar, record using Pro Tools, Sonar and Ableton in their homes, sing, and do it all without the need to drain their pockets paying for help, or relying on a major label. I am excited to see the new musical Da Vincis, Michealangelos and the like show the beauty of the pursuit of creating art that is multi-faceted.

Lyrics
Some people seem to have it made in the shade They seem to live so nice it makes me want to trade Their ace of hearts for my deuce of spades But then would I spend all my days just sipping lemonade I've heard it said the more you own, the more owns you Ain't it strange how things we make can tell us what to do But ain't no changing things, cuz things know who owns who So freeing myself from the chains of things is what I wanna do Have you ever felt how good it feels to wear your favorite shirt and then Throw it on the sand, bathe in the sea, Catch some rays, and then do it all over again I know I've felt how good it feels to wear my favorite shirt and then Throw it on the sand, bathe in the sea And dream in the shade, and then tomorrow do it again I'm sure there's somewhere that I read It's easier for a camel to go through the eye- of a needle than a rich man to be lead through the gates of heaven and it's been said to lay up treasures upon high where thieves and devils never tread I gotta eat my humble pie instead Living free and easy is like dancing a jig Just be careful cuz the doobie doo and the bee bop- can make ya flip your lid So just sing along, and jump around like a little kid Cuz living living life is free and easy if ya dig to lay up treasures upon high where thieves and devils never tread I gotta eat my humble pie instead Be careful what you say and be careful what you do And be in the know about just who is looking over you Remember if you never had a pebble in your shoe You'd never know big brother had cast a net for you A barrel full of crackers, my oh my My favorite crackers aren�t only white, I prefer to diversify So bring me plenty made of wheat, and plenty made of rye And all good grains to add flavor in the sweet bye and bye I'm sure there's somewhere that I read It's easier for a camel to go through the eye- of a needle than a rich man to be lead through the gates of heaven and it's been said to lay up treasures upon high where thieves and devils never tread I gotta eat my humble pie instead
