Artist picture
A little bit Gordon Lightfoot, a little bit Harry Chapin, a dash of Paul Simon, and a whole lot of myself. I think of my music as Americana with blues, country
I play solo and with WOODY, my trio. When I play solo, I do mostly original songs with some selected covers by songwriters I hold in high regard. WOODY plays originals by the three of us also, with some covers to satisfy those in the audience who are hooked on the same 'ol stuff' they hear on the radio - except that it's not the same old stuff. We do it for the excitement and to get people dancing. It seems to work :-)

Lyrics
He wasn't my real grand dad he just married my father's mom but he gave me everything he had that wasn't already tied down He was a hero in a foreign war and one in Washimgton D.C. he carried scars, he didn't know what for he fought fires to keep us free (chorus) And he sang to me in his rocking chair when I was just a bot and he made me feel like I was special 'cause he brought me so much joy, oh yeah (break) I remember when I caught that eel fishin' back on Monroe Bay I watched him try to clean that thing it took us almost all the day There was always something for my pocket a nickel or a souvenir I'd take off like a rocket and show my friends look what I've got here (chorus) And he sang to me in his rocking chair when I was just a bot and he made me feel like I was special 'cause he brought me so much joy and he sang Old man river, he just keeps rollin' he just keeps rollin' along
