Cover me...I'm goin' in!

About Me

I like tromping around with a home-made guitar singing songs wherever I can. Coffeehouses, flea markets, house parties, you call it. If the door's open, I'm coming in.

The tales on this disc will keep you warm as the rusty old car shudders along the highway." Stop Smiling."A great collision of songwriters, this CD reminds us of what trading stories through songs is all about." Isound
