About Me

I am primarily running this site to get a feel for what other musicians and listeners think of my songs. My desire is to create colorful and beautiful music, with many rich and dramatic textures. I am not attempting to sell you anything, only to take you on a musical journey, and I believe that a beautiful journey is best shared with friends.(cough, cough) Thanks for all the e-mailed compliments and critiques, I'm striving for musical growth and wisdom, so each one is greatly prized. In the future my CD will be available to you. I am a self taught musician, and have been playing FINGERSTYLE guitar for about 6 years now. I played all the instruments on my tracks except for the drums, which i programmed. The keyboard stuff is my rough and clumsy attempt at orchestrating. I play a Gerundino flamenco negra guitar. I recorded, mixed, and engineered everything myself at home. For this I beg your forgiving ear.Keep checking back, as I will change the songs and the melodies to them periodically.Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy my music.
