About Me

I've been writing songs since the late sixties. The songs on this page were written between 1972 and 1982 and (with the exception of "Romanian Nightmare") recorded during that time.

The vocalist on "Strange Boy" is Judy Whitfield, and Dale Allen sings "Sweet Street". They are both wonderful songwriters as well. That's me singing the other four songs. You can find some of my newer material by clicking on Now Standards Music in my "friends" space. Don't worry, I'm not singing any of those. Nor am I singing on the collection tunes you'll find on Now Standards Instrumentals, also below.
