About Me

I'm a singer/songwriter, born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and now living in Seattle, WA. While I have always been a working musician [playing B3 organ in R and B bands for most of my adult life], this site contains songs I wrote with a Taylor acoustic in my lap, and are chiefly the inspiration of the two men I consider the finest folk writers of all time... Bob Dylan...and the early days version of Bob, ....that great American poet, - Hank Williams Sr. MySpace Backgrounds
