About Me

As one of the founding members of Fish Relics ( www.myspace.com/FishRelics ), I have a number of solo work in progress which I am now posting to this site. There are aproximately 75 songs in the "can" as it were. I will rotate as neccessary. The other material belongs to my Fish Relics band, of which you can hear our music at the aforementioned MySpace site.My passion is in playing keyboard (Yamaha Portable Grand DXG-205) and Young Chang baby grand piano (when appropriate). I am also a singer/songwriter (obviously). I have been playing keyboard and vocals since I was around 9 years old. I also attended piano lessons for 6 excruciating years before realizing that classical music by itself was too dry for my taste. After taking a hiatus for a time, I never stopped playing and writing new music. My inspirations are: Billy Joel / Kansas / Styx / Rick Wakeman / Jim Steinman / Foreigner / Jethro Tull as well as a host of other musicians from the 70's (ie: Little Feat) and 80's (ie: Depeche Mode). I was also in a number of musicals, such as "Billy Lawlor" (Lead) in 42nd Street, Carousel, Cats & West Side Story. My other passion is creative writing, whereas I am still working on that Great American Novel I keeps starting yet never have time to finish. I am married with a beautiful daughter who hates my kind of music, but loves me anyway.Peace.

One More Try

Okay, I'll keep this short. I've posted a song I wrote a few years back when (sniff sniff) I broke up with my fiance. We eventually reconciled, but this song took me down a COUNTRY route that I'...
