About Me

My music has been described as "Sensitive, Contemporary, Eclectic Boy" Music. Seems to fit as well as anything. Some of my biggest influences are down there below in my top friends: Los Lobos, David Wilcox, John Hiatt, Alexi Murdoch..., etc. Check them out when you get a chance if you don't know their music. In the meantime, enjoy your stay here on my page, and be sure to listen to the tunes. More are coming - keep checking back! Thanks for stopping by, Stan. I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Blogs

When I posted my last blog entry from San Francisco, I told a good friend of mine about it (my mentor, really.)  He said he enjoyed it, but he wondered why I was writing it.  I tried to expl...
