About Me

There is no bio. I have been writing and recording for nearly 10 years. Most of my material starts out on paper and never makes it much farther. What does jump off the paper and into a recording, usually becomes an acoustic demo, and ends there. Destined to become part of my extensive library of recordings that nobody will ever hear. Every so often a song grows on me to a point that it becomes just that...a song...not just a demo. I try and write more and more every day, because I feel like each new song is better than my last.50 years from now my grandchildren will get a hold of my songbooks and recordings, start a killer band, and make millions of dollars off of my musical secrets.
