"If you LOVE Music, You love LIFE"

About Me

****Fame is a state of Mind... Fortune is a reality***** - a quote from me - ** .Since I'm not a big time, well known "Mucky Muck", and I don't have a "Mucky Muck" Publicist, HERE'S THE DEAL....I've been singing and writing music all my life. I've done tons of studio work and live performing and I've worked with a lot of musicians. Yes.. I've been blessed. I only do ORIGINAL music and I'm grateful that many folks seem to like it. After many years of dreaming about putting some of my music out, I finally decided to get it out.The first song on this stream here is piece that was a great collaboration between an AMAZING friend of mine here on the Space, Scott Donaldson. He wrote the music and I came up with the lyrics. THIS IS A DEMO TUNE called "Drowning"... IT is not FINISHED, we are still working on it!! The song called "LIFE IS A CIRCLE" is also very special, because it was a co-written project that I've dreamed of doing forever. A great long-time freind and fellow musician, composer Harold Hayes III (who also has a MYSPACE PAGE) wrote and composed the music for this AWESOME piece. He had all the ingredients for a great tune, but he wanted to see what I could do with it. After a couple of days of listening to this piece, I decided to lock myself in the house, turn off all the phones and allow the song to fill my veins, "literally" so I came up with the lyrics and vocal performances for the piece.. The track on this STREAM is not a final mix... However, it will be a final mix before the end of the year and added as one of the Feature songs on my upcoming CD. The CD has been long-awaited by many....The other songs on the stream "This Moment" and "Somebody's Blood are songs I wrote. I'm singing and playing the piano on "This Moment" and I'm playing guitar and singing on "Somebody's Blood" The song "Where are the Real People" was just added on March of 2008. It is VERY ROUGH and it's a song I recorded in my living room, a few years ago. I was recently pressured to put the song up by a good friend, so THERE IT IS!!. The other song "This Moment" will also be on the upcoming CD. Of Course it's a rough track too!!
