Till We're Free Till We're Free
A Todd Rundgren/Carole King style piano song about working for freedom.
I Just Want to Be There I Just Want to Be There
a short, punchy song protesting the dark side of music (all the depressing, destructive, violent stuff thrown at us by the cocaine-intoxicated music industry starting in the late 80's) - a rejection of destructiveness and an invitation to live
Hope You're Alright Hope You're Alright
This is a song about a person overwhelmed by what's taking place in the world and reaching out for the comfort of his missing sweetheart.
Turn the Light On Turn the Light On
An energetic, innovative use of the acoustic guitar to drive an intense song.

I am a singer-songwriter who writes and performs progressive rock and light rock ballads on piano, keyboards and guitar. I sometimes bring in my wife, friends and former bandmembers to assist with my performances, but with busy schedules amongst us, more often than not these are usually solo performances enhanced with MIDI back-up tracks, which provide a beautiful contrast of a live vocal and guitar or piano over a pre-recorded background.Band/artist history
