About Me

I'm not very good at writing about myself, so I'll try, but not very hard.
I don't like moving, but I've done it a lot. I started out in Kentucky, then moved up to Chicago, then moved over to Boston, and now I'm back down in Kentucky. I miss being in a city, but it's nice being closer to family. My nephew is growing up fast, and it's nice to get to watch it happen.
I've changed, but so has everyone else, so I don't think it's something to be upset over. I used to be very smart, but I don't think I am anymore. I'm okay with that. (Editor's note: My mom and one of my friends both disapprove of this assertion.)
I make music constantly, and I might possibly die if I ever stopped. I also might possibly stop if I ever died. They're probably both true. I think making music is one of the most fun things there is to do, besides maybe board games. I can't say exactly when I started writing songs or why, but it was a long time ago, and I'm sure it was for a very good reason.
I hope you enjoy the music but understand if you don't. I really appreciate feedback of any sort, except maybe if what you write is mean or has a lot of misspelled words. Please, feel free to write me and let me know what you think! I might not pride myself on much, but I'm pretty good at being friendly. And also at Wheel of Fortune.

Copyrights are expensive

But I still registered them.  Hooray!  So, that would mean I can (soon) start on the duplication process without worry.  Of course, there are a few more things I'd like to get in order,...
