Here is (hopefully) a short bio:
I was born on July 2nd some many years ago now... :) I guess my love for music started out when I found myself playing whatever records we had in the house, pretty much all the time. For my Mom and Dad’s contributions – I specifically remember playing their Elvis, The Supremes, The Fifth Dimension, Eddy Arnold, Roy Orbison, Nat King Cole and John Denver records. My Sister’s contributions were Neil Diamond and The Beatles. I suppose the rest during this time were all pretty much my own discoveries such as Alice Cooper (School’s Out, Billion Dollar Babies, and Goes To Hell), Elton John (Greatest Hits), Linda Ronstadt (Greatest Hits), Emmylou Harris and of course The Rolling Stones!
Musically, I am self taught. I didn't start playing guitar until I was 17. I really only started playing when it became apparent that I should try to be a little more productive with both my time and with music (because playing and buying records just seemed to be about the only thing I really seemed to truly find joy in). So I consider myself a 'late starter' - but nonetheless - I have started!!!
After realizing at some point that I really wasn't going to be the 'great' guitar player I had been envisioning for myself, and thought that on occassion - I can actually carry a tune (though sometimes with a bucket), I decided that songwriting was really what I wanted most to pursue.
I like to think that 'a good song is a good song'. I like many different types of music, from many different types of artists. It is my belief that if you have a good song to start with - that regardless of the performance and sound quality of the recording - a good song will shine through (well, maybe it has to be a REALLY good song!).
With that said - here are a few of my demos here on my page. I am currently in the process of building my own home recording studio and hope to be producing not only more (and better) songs, but better recordings as well.
I've been doing open mics and gigs for just over a year now and really enjoy playing out whenever I can.
Thanks for reading and most of all - thanks for listening! :)
MySpace has been such a great place to find new music (just like mine), please check out some of my ‘Top Friends’ pages for their music as well… a nice variety of music from some very nice people… enjoy! :) Myspace Backgrounds
