Acoustic, folk, adult alternative with a touch of alternative country.
In my other life I'm a futures speculator. Since there is plenty of downtime in the business, I sing, play, and write, so I don't obsess about the markets. My music tends to be pensive. That's no doubt influenced by the fact that my instrument of choice is a classic acoustic guitar.

Lyrics
Before you kissed me only the winds of heaven / Had kissed me, and the tenderness of rain-- / Now you have come, how can I care for kisses / Like theirs again? // I sought the sea, she sent her winds to meet me, / They surged about me sing of the south -- / I turned my head away to keep still holy / Your kiss upon my mouth. // And swift sweet rains of shining April weather / Found not my lips where living kisses are -- / I bowed my head lest they put out my glory / As rain puts out a star. // I am my love's and he is mine forever. / Sealed with a seal and safe forevermore -- / Think you that I could let a beggar enter / Where a king stood before.
