The first step to failure is saying "I Can't"

About Me

For the moment it's just me,but i've recently had people asking me if they can back me up.So it seems a band is on the horizon. If you happen to be a decent and intuitive bass player, please contact me. I'm aware that my recordings are not flawless at this point,but additional instruments played by better musicians than myself will be added to many songs soon enough.Keep in mind I'm currently using home recording software and have barely scratched the surface of all there is to learn with it. As soon as enough of you either buy my songs or give me enough encouragement , I'll go to the studio. Until then I'd love to hear feedback through comments on which songs are your favorites.
