"...I too play a guitar- but sometimes I play the fool" -John Lennon
Mostly, I write originals songs and record/produce the material at home. I just play acoustic/electric guitar, sometimes bass. I'll fill out the songs with other "instruments". Lately I've been filming renditions of these songs, doing covers of pop/rock songs, and making music videos of my material.

Lyrics
The climbers descended from all walks of life And different parts of the earth Resolving to summit the roof of the world In the Himalayas with feelings of mirth This expedition was going to plan up until camp IV But when they attempted the final ascent Who could imagine what was in store? Gotta get out of this place It's so cold, it's so ka-ka-ka cold! Bottlenecks formed at the Hillary Step Causing delays for the team Failing to heed the two o'clock turnaround A fatal mistake- it would later be deemed Altitude sickness affected the mountaineers and decisions they made All in one boat- and yet so remote Isolated, fatigued and afraid Gotta get out of this place It's so cold, ka-ka-ka cold, cold, cold! Looking up on some clear evenings Shining stars in the milky way Would appear so very close That you could reach out and touch them Gotta get out of this place It's so cold, ka-ka-ka cold, cold, cold! Blackening storm clouds arose out of nowhere stranding members we learned The tempest continued on until midnight When the encampment could at last be discerned Sherpas and guides became separated From the rest of the pack By the end of this sad ordeal Eight of the dreamers would not make it back Gotta get out of this place It's so cold, ka-ka-ka cold, cold, cold! Gotta get out of this place It's so cold, it's so ka-ka-ka cold! It's so cold- cold, cold, cold! It's so cold, ka-ka-ka cold, cold, cold! It's so cold! I'm so cold! It's so cold!
