About Me

You know the routine. I write songs. I play guitar and sing. Sometimes better than others. I am the proud owner of at least fifty unfinished projects, but trust me, they will see completion before I check out. I've been in and out of more bands than a hooker has been in and out of hotel rooms. My solo work is my life-blood, but I do have a life standing in one band that will make it's return. Look us up on here... Johnny Lost. We ain't dead. We just act that way (after too many drinks.) Sorry, not much of a bio. But seriously folks, nobody reads this sh*t anyway.

A Brief Return

Hello. I guess I'll start at the beginning and answer a couple of questions.  Sigh.  I guess I am going to consider getting a new kitten.  Look, I was never a cat person.  I was an...

It's been a long journey.  Lots of people, places, faces I recall and names I've forgotten.  Girls I've loved.  Girls I didn't want to love... but did anyway.  Songs I've heard, so...

New song of the week

Yep.  Simon and Garfunkel's "Fakin' It" has already been moved from song of the week status.  See, I heard it on the radio today and that just ended the novelty of it all for me.  My n...

The Real Top 25

I stole this idea from Stephen King's occasionally interesting Entertainment Weekly column.  The word "occasionally" is not used as a slap at King.  I love the man and the majority of his wo...
