About Me

Is anyone else out there getting sick of the whole tapered jeans cowboy shirt messed up hair fashion statement a lot of L.A. O.C. and MTV type musicians are wearing? It's so Bush era! We are living in tremendous times and nobody should have time to ape another's look, but that's what we see over and over a bunch of chickenshit conformists... There is so much more to music and life. There is a way but we all must choose to struggle to find it. All the while we must not laugh at those who hope, but encourage them to go big. I am convinced that all reall artists at some point throw convention to hell and start from scratch working from their soul outward. Dali, Dylan, Streep, are some of the more well known. I delayed the release of some of my songs and am in the process of putting finishing touches on the last few. In the process of all of my recordings and wanderings I've met up with some amazing artists, please check out my friends and give a listen to Mike Miller and Aharon. Two new friends I really dig. I'll start dropping in my songs as the reach completion. Peace & Love, Positive Vibrations - not just cool things to say but a lifestyle to achieve.
