RitenouR tm, the Virginia Songsmith

I am a songwriter. I've written hundreds of song lyrics and completed songs: Country,Blues, Rock, Folk and Comedy..... seeking Publishing and Marketing........ I play guitar, bass guitar and some keyboards. I have spent many years on the road. I hope you enjoy the sample of my songs I've sellected for you.They were recorded live at Sparky's Too ( now Full Throttle) in Capon Bridge, WV in 2002 by Guitarist, Ralph Fortune, Drummer, Dave Smith and myself. This cd sold out of its original "numbered" release of 500 copies and is only available as a special Authorized Bootleg cd. Currently Blues Fuse has a cd in the works, Lovin' In Vain ( some of these songs can be previewed at www.myspace.com/stinkbait4u until I can get it deleted by myspace customer service), and I am working on a cd with several members of the band LOVEWRECK as well as an Unplugged cd of some of my acoustic songs.I am available for recording session work in the Shenandoah Valley and DC area. I am also available on my open dates to do free-lance work. Contact me on this site's inbox (messages) and I'll get back to you ASAP. Thanks for droppin' by, thanks for being a friend and most of all thanks for being a lover of music....................................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ....................................On behave of The Suspect Band, Blues Fuse, The Swervin' Curves and myself, I'd like to thank all the wonderful people who have become friends, our fans and families, all the venue owners and everyone else who helped make 2K6 a great year.
