About Me

AVAILABLE NOW -- MY HOME-SPUN CD "SANCTUARY I" AND MY BAND'S CDs -- MESSAGE ME TO FIND OUT HOW TO GET YOURS AND HOW TO GET SPECIAL DEALS!!!
OKay, here's the resume basics -- I've been playing for 14 years come Summer'07. About 4 years ago the idea was put into my head to make an album -- which brings you up to the present. I've found that an album isn't a quick process -- at least not the first one and not when you're working alone... but I've been enjoying the endeavor, the creative process, improving my piping, I'm learning LOADS. I already have concepts for another 7 or so albums to follow, tho I'm pretty sure I'll have to work in these one at a time (LOL). Send me an add-request and watch this profile for updates -- current projection for this first album release is Spring 2008, hopefully earlier (Holliday Season 2007?).
