About Me



Beautiful Things. Beautiful Things
I'll say it once, once no more

I suspect music speaks for itself. It doesn't need to be difficult to be moving. Well, at least that what countless unforgettable artists have demonstrated. Simplicity is a talent in and of itself. Creating a certain emotion with only a few chords and the truth is the essence of musical prowess. Ah, simplicity our old friend. Simpicity is the bedfellow of truth and love. Simplicity is the humble beginning of inginuity and originality. Simplicity pushes on when others can only stand back and wish for involvement. Simplicity drives the mind, the body, the essence, the plan, the day, the evening, the year, the weak, the strong, the heart, the terrible, the tragic, the overpowering, the just, the free, the lovely, the brave

I play a Breedlove Focus SD-20 and goodness, gracious is that a lovely piece of craftsmanship. Holy smokes that thing makes the most beautiful music on planet earth. I do believe that I will have to get it into the studio very soon.

*Please excuse the poor musical recordings. I'm still working on it. Let's hear it for having zero dollars to spend on studios.

Have you ever wondered what British cheese looked like? I have a 100% real-life, no-kidding, authentic image of English cheese right in the supermarket. Can you believe this jazz? I won't lie to you, I took this photograph myself while I was visiting the UK. This was the highlight of my trip. I absolutely had to see if the Brits keep their cheese and sell their cheese in similar ways that Americans do. There were similarities, but a few radical differences. One being the temperature the cheese was stored in. Many cheeses react differently to various temperatures. Cheese can obtain a completely new taste sensation if stored at even a slightly different temperature than what the cheese is accustomed to. Well, enough technical cheese chat, if you don't believe me, take a closer look at the prices on all of the signs....

*Bands are not ordered to display most significant influence. All have shared an equal responsibility in creating an extremely well-versed and talented artist (ME!!!). However, Goo Goo Dolls did come first on the list because they definately have rocked my face off more than a few times in the past. Those fine bunch 'a boys just can't ever produce enough records to keep me satisfied...

Sounds Like: It's difficult to say what style of music I really play. I limit myself to a genre called acoutic folk/rock, but that doesn't ever make me happy. I write music that fits whatever mood I happen to be in on that particular day. Sometimes it comes out as blues, sometimes folk, sometimes pop, and sometimes I don't have any clue what it is. Whatever the case may be, I love that gee-tar more than life itself and most days I play that beast until my fingers scream out fo' mercy. Holy smokes mamma!
