About Me

Independent songwriter with music published in Nashville. I write in Americana genre and have been involved with all kinds of music and played with alll kinds of musicians from the church to the bar. I'm grateful for that. Drummed in and around philly for a long time playing the blues to reggae and was weaned on motown and Beatles and played with alot of talented artist along the journey some of these people, I am happy to say remain my mates. I put my sticks away for a pic and a pencil a few years back.. I am a member of International Songwriters Association(Ireland) The World Wide Songwriters Association (Nashville)with BMI affiliation...Like everyone else a prisoner of what I do, not of what I am successful at doing. Published by McClure & Trowbridge in Nashville the Mecca for Independent artist like myself who have no where else to go to with what they have to offer. There are alot of people with a alot to offer. I am too old for expectation, too young to die, so just bury me with my gibson gospel guitar and three female backup singers all wearing black. Yea MAN!!
