Hi and thanks for stopping by. A little about me, I am more of a poet than a performer - words intrigue me - but have always found myself at the center of attention. I think I get that attribute from my mother. I usually write and play for my own enjoyment. Therefore, a lot of my original work is too introspective for pop audiences that don't like to think about the message in the music. Some folks cover the meaning with flashy music and are very successful, even when there is no meaning at all. I am the converse, believing that the music is there to support the words. With that being said, it is often hard to find the right mix of music with words. I have plenty of both that don't want to mesh. Here's a link if you would like to read of few of my selected poems that are almost good enough to read. I'm not proud, just stupid, and decided to post them anyway: I am a folk musician at heart, with influences that include gospel, bluegrass, and irish ballads. As you might can tell from the slightly ecclectic gathering of cover songs I've included on this site, my influences are wide, yet they all seem to have a common bond to me. Thanks for taking a listen and a look. If you like what you hear, please join my fan club.
