About Me

Here goes...I was born in the snowy southern tip of the Rockies in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We moved around a lot when I was a kid, from Albuquerque to Newport News, Santa Monica, Amarillo, Ft. Worth and eventually San Antonio. The Hill Country right outside SA is where I now call home. If there was ever one thing I could count on in my family, it was that we were bound to travel. Year after year we would make our way across the states and year after year we would see new things and experience North America like modern day explorers. Those are most of my memories. During those trips is when I learned about music. My dad would teach me classic rock or folk songs on guitar in Montana, Tennessee, Montreal, wherever we happened to be at the time. We always have a great time playing together. The love of music is a bond that all people share. It binds us together and that's why it's so appealing. I really try to writing about things that are personal and I love to share songs with anybody and everybody. I appreciate everyone who gives the songs a listen. Thank you all for keeping the spirit of good music and friends alive!-Steve P.
