Pop rock music with melodic sensibilities and big memorable choruses!
Here's the deal; I write these songs, then I record them, then I ask people to listen to them. I've been playing music for durn near 40 years, and learned to play an instrument about 20 years ago. During the late 80's and through the 90's I played in a few cover bands in northern Michigan. Cover-Up, Rock Candy, Jet Plane Jane, Listen Mister, Chill Street. I got exposed to playing a wide variety of songs and styles, which I think helps my writing a little bit now. I record my music in my quite modest home studio which I have dubbed "Rocket Studio". It looks like a studio, because I have a few racks full of impressive audio gear, although I don't use any of it for recording. Most of the songs are all recorded, mixed, and mastered in the box (that means on the computer), with the only input being a couple of guitars, and a condenser microphone. Anyhow, I hope you like these songs (when I actually post them here in a little while.)

Story behind the song
I've always liked the idea of the hung up on you / hung up on you double meaning wordplay. I've heard it in two songs before, so I thought I'd try my own hand at the phrase. Note: I didn't realize that I had ripped off 'Since You Been Gone' for my guitar intro until after it was already done. Oops. :)
Lyrics
V1 We met at Mikey's drinking whiskey sours, and we talked about nothing over many hours. We hit it off but then you had to go, so I asked for your phone number but you told me no... Chorus: Calling you is what I have to do and if I dial you and can get through Please don't hang up on me 'cause I'm hung up on You V2 Talked to a friend that you and I both know, and she told me there's something that I ought to know about you You got engaged earlier this summer, but I still had to ask her for your telephone number... Chorus Verse2/Bridge I'll work up the nerve to call you Saturday Hope for my good luck your boyfriend is away will you be glad to hear my voice on your phone Or will I hear a dial tone?... Interlude, solo Chorus: Don't want to stop now that I've found out that you are someone I can't live without Calling you is what I have to do and if I dial you and can get through Please don't hang up on me 'cause I'm hung up on, I'm really stuck on you. I'm hung up on you.
