Proud to announce that my song: won in the January 2004 I am a songwriter from Western Wisconsin, writing and singing songs with an acoustic/folk/rock/country flavor. Also, I have been working on a collection of songs that re-tell the stories from the Civil War, with an emphasis on the Battle of Gettysburg. Check 'em out.

Lyrics
See the middle-aged fool, perched up high upon his stool On the stage in the corner of the bar Looking out across the room, his mind is on a tune, He finds comfort in the strings on his guitar As the chords turn into strums, and the rush of music comes And he plays another thought-provoking song He’s not a literary wiz, but he thinks he really is He’s not right, but he’s not completely wrong… He’s a folk singer, a real humdinger He’s got a sarcastic slant, and an insightful mind He’s a songwriter, go on and raise your lighter Somewhere between crazy and cool Somewhere between a freak and a fool Yes, a fool, a fool on a stool As the night presses on, and the fear will soon be gone He will play a brand-new song that he just wrote Though the words may not rhyme, in an unfamiliar time He pours his soul into each and every note Somewhere in the crowd, a voice will cry out loud He sings whatever song they will require And before the evening ends, each face will be a friend And he plays on, and he will never tire He’s a guitar picker, and he loves his liquor He’s got uncanny wit, and gravelly, nasal voice He’s a deep thinker, did I mention a beer drinker? Somewhere between crazy and cool Somewhere between a freak and a fool Yes, a fool, a fool on a stool What makes him think There are eyes behind the stares? What makes him think That anybody really cares? (Repeat Chorus)
