Life After Wurlitzer

About Me

Singer/songwriter/guitarist. Been writing songs ever since the Beatles blew my mind. Speaking of which: my favourite guitarist, Rob van Toledo, and I have been busy re-arranging Beatles songs; recordings have started as of 01-01-2008. Some have been newly finished. Listen, if you will. Working title: Fab Four Ever.
