No claims of being a performer. I just give it what little I've taught myself musically by songwriting. Recorded by mic, straight to computer as sound on sound.
Born at an early age, I was just a kid at the time....from there memory escapes me, until 2000 or 2001 when I decided to teach myself guitar. In order to teach myself guitar, I took to writing songs. From there, I added bass and occasionally, harmonica and a small touch of electric guitar. Not much of a performer, but I love to experiment writing songs. So, it's nine or ten years into it so far....and I've only scratched the surface with tons to learn. Maybe, you'll find something you like on the nearly three pages, I've loaded so far....Comments are welcome, I don't expect all comments to be favorable, but objectively constructive. I make no claims of being a performer....I just give it my best with what little that I've taught myself both musically and in songwriting. All songs are either written, played and sang by myself or my attempt at covering a song by my favorite artists.

What a great tune Wade! Your working the vocal really well here. Very clear and crisp recording. Your timing (as always) is perfect. Must be that bass player in you. I can really relate to "By the Time". Another fine one my Man.

Thanks Wade from Candace and I, we have loved this song from the first time we listened to it. Each and every time we play it. It's as new ,fresh ,and enjoyable as that first listen was. The music is done to perfection and serves as a deep rooted anchor for your prolific lyrics. The words are so profound, and speaks with wisdom that can only come with the experience of sorting through lifes many challenges. By the time, you find you want too much You may have more than you should loose By the time, you find you've worked too much You may have less than you thought you'd choose By the time By the time Buy that time now with your heart When you're young, you think the old ones fools When you've grown, you teach the golden rule By the time, you learn life's unending fuss You may learn that your friends have grown By the time, you find your children sucha rush You might find yourself when you're all alone By the time By the time Buy that time now with
