About Me

I went to Ireland when I got out of college, cause I didn t know what else to do, and ended up staying there for a while. My hero became Billy Bragg-- but I only had an acoustic. I really never had any idea how to make up songs until I took a class with my pal Al, who knows all. So I did mostly covers, and tried to pick up good songs. I don t know if it s worked. Here s a couple things I do. I ll try to switch out for some more originals as soon as I get em down. Good Luck. More incredible B.
