Musician and song writer in Seattle, Washington.
For as long as I can remember, music has been a passion of mine. While playing for a live audience is great fun (most of the time), I've always had a special interest in recording -- both the technology and the process itself. These days I don't play gigs any more, but I enjoy writing and recording music for others to hear online. Hopefully, you'll find something you like here. Don't forget to look at the individual song pages for lyrics and information about my collaborators. Thanks for visiting.

Story behind the song
If youve ever visited the Pacific Northwest in the winter, you know what it feels like to endure day after day of dark drizzly weather. I wrote this song as an antidote to a particularly long and dreary spell. The gentle bossa nova rhythm of the verses evokes the quiet gloom of the rain, which is finally lifted in the choruses. The spare acoustic guitar lines mirror the overall restrained feel of the arrangement. Thanks to Scott Foster for the hand percussion parts.
Lyrics
It's winter always in my heart Like dreary dismal days when we're apart The streets are wet, the sky is gray Can't send the dogs outside to play Rain drips down my window pane Carving channels in my soggy brain Come to wash away my tears And whisper secrets in my lonely ears And then I'm beaming, bathing, basking in your smile Bedazzled by your power to beguile Savoring sweet summer all the while What is this magic you possess To rescue me from my bitterness The strange enchantment that you wield Against the darkness in my heart concealed Because I'm beaming, bathing, basking in your smile Bedazzled by your power to beguile Savoring sweet summer all the while And I'm beaming, bathing, basking in your smile Bedazzled by your power to beguile Savoring sweet summer all the while
