About Me

After all these years in music, I'm still trying new things and figuring out where to go next. and having fun! ... and having fun!... I've been pretty gung-ho on the jazz sax thing for while now, but the guitar started calling me back. I wanted to listen to all that folk rock I grew up on again, and write some songs with lyrics (imagine that) so that's what I've doing. It's not that I'm frustrated with the sax thing, cause I'm not, (and it pays my bills) I enjoy it immensely and I've even branched out to flute and clarinet and I love playing those reeds, and accompanying all my great songwriter friends. I've also really enjoyed singing the last couple of years, so no matter which axe I'm holding, I'll be sure to sing a few songs. I hope you enjoy my latest offerings. Feel free to to let me know what you think. There will be more new songs up soon, so stop back and listen again.Thanks,TedI edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

A sketch

I was born on the lower east side, of Madison, Wisconsin that is. A town where the hippies won, and colorful murals and rusting VW Microbuses dotted the streets. There were railroads running right dow...
