About Me

A handful of people "might" remember me when I'm gone. There won't be any "Life-time Achievement" honors for me. I'm not Dylan or Cash. But at least I feel that before I die,,, I won't have any regrets or wondered "what could have been" if I didn't try? No matter what,,, at least I know I gave it a shot. I'm surprised I'm still alive. Experienced a lot in my life,,, lived a lot of different places. Made it through some tough years. This year is not any easier. I still enjoy performing live in clubs & bars, etc. But the bigger picture for me,,, is not all about "me" anymore. I feel in my heart I have to give back. I will continue to perform as long as people enjoy what I do. But the gigs I like the most, & "need" the most,,, is when I can put a smile on someone's face in the hospitols, nursing homes & places for the misfortunate, the handicapped, & the forsaken. You can go to my other page at purevolume.com to hear some other songs I've done. I can only have 4 songs here on myspace,,, just click on the link below. Thank You
