I live in the Good Land of Goleta Ca. I write songs as a matter of hobby and personal release. These cuts are rough sketches of a few musical ideas that I had recorded at some point in time... nothing more. As for the political aesthetic of this site, it was spawned by the current DISMAL situation that the people of the USA have placed us in by allowing this ASSHOLE WARMONGER to be placed into the Presidency.The invasion into the Iraq's nation has been nothing less than a modern day atrocity that is so beneath the ideals I had envisioned for this nation. Since then, I have dove deep into studying US history and have found that things really have not changed that much, only the media is now forced to speak of them... THANK GOD FOR THE INTERNET!anyway, with regard to the other songs, I was re-introduced to old timey by a wonder group of acquaintances that called themselves The Lemon Pickers. I fell in love with the genre. Since then I have re-discovered Country as well. Coming from Bakersfield CA, it was difficult (if not impossible) to avoid C&W. I never liked it much when I was a teen... but age does something to the soul that causes it to rediscover music that takes it back to a time when responsibility was almost non-existent... ahhh yes, those were the days.Old Paint is actually a Woody Guthrie song. I read the lyric and loved it. Never having heard the song, I decided to create my own music to it as an experiment. As for live performances, I have no desire to entertain but still do on special occasion when it fits into my schedule. One reason is that audiences freak me out a bit due to my lack of stage experience. The second reason is that at this point in my life, all my time is dedicated to raising my son and keeping my home in order. I do enjoy hearing comments on my works none the less. I hope you enjoy them all.
