Artist picture
I am a Folk Rock musician. My music is inspired by John Lennon and The Beatles.
As a kid I found sanctuary in the music of The Beatles. When things were bad at home I would put Meet The Beatles on my brothers turntable and dream of one day writing my own songs. I started playing guitar when I was 14 and wrote my first song at the age of 26. While my musical tastes have expanded over the years I am still a hug Beatles fan. I am a solo performer in Phoenix, Arizona. When I perform live I cover a variety of artists ranging from The Beatles and The Who to Sinatra and Gershwin. I am very excited about my latest C.D., "These Times". It's my third C.D. and this one is very different from the other two. Being a huge John Lennon fan I made an attempt at mirroring the sound from Lennon's Plastic Ono Band album. I love the feel and the sound of that album. Click on the link below to buy your copy.

Story behind the song
When I was a kid my brother John and his wife Mandy were considered to be hippies. I remember the smell of patouli that filled the air when my sister-in-law, Mandy would enter the room. They drove a VW square back and in the mid 70's moved to California and eventually gave up the "hippie" scene for yuppie-ism. I had heard threw the grapevine that they were "swingers" but it was never clarified if that meant that they had an open marriage or they just were out to have more fun that the usual couple.
