About Me

My "band" is an ever-shifting collection of talented weirdos. We rarely rehearse and most of the time we make up set-lists as we go. I don't know the names of the strings on my guitar. I only know the names of a few chords.I play the guitar so I can sing. I sing because it makes me feel calm again. It makes me feel light. I have to write songs because I feel sick when I don't. The songs are written for my own pleasure. It's strange and wonderful and scary to share the songs with other people.I just released my first solo CD, seeds, stars, galzies, and I'm making plans for two others...a country album, and an acoustic soul album. seeds, stars, galaxies is available at cdbaby.com.
