You have no idea how almost famous I am!

About Me

Welcome to my non-smoking MySpace music page!
After years of putting it off I've finally put together a few songs for my upcoming CD, Tallulah Lake. It's not quite finished yet, but I plan on finishing it by summer 2007. It's a journey of self-discovery. It was important for me to play all of the instruments myself (mostly). Partly just to see if I could pull it off. The songs are very personal. I'm writing for me. If you like my music, then great! If not, that's okay, too.
A word about my singing. I do get a lot of people saying that I sound like John Lennon (particularly in the first two songs, Beautiful Soul and I Think Of You). While I am very flattered with the compliment, I don't think I do. I will acknowledge that my music is very influenced by the Beatles. They are in my blood as I have loved their music all of my life. I do not approach my writing with the intention of trying to sound "Beatle-esqe", it just comes out that way. But being compared to a Beatle is not the worst thing anybody could say about me! I am truly flattered, so thank you.
Please let me know if you enjoy my music. I'll keep you posted when my CD is complete. In the meantime, I've made several of the tracks available for download through SNOCAP. Thanks for your support!
Steve
P.S. REGARDING COMMENTS: I love getting comments from everyone. It's what makes MySpace a community. But ... I can't really use a $500 gift card for Macy's, I'm okay with the size of my penis and I'm really not interested in any free ringtones. If you post one of these stupid ads you're gone. Period.
