About Me


About MeYou may say that I'm a dreamer.
I find myself alone when each day is through.
I come from a long line, high and low and in between.
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.
=========================
Singer songwriter in Fort Worth, Tx for years. The Shut Up Shop is in extended hiatus as it became pretty much just Greg and I... but then again that's what the Shut Up Shop was all along.
These days, Greg and I are working with some friends and great musicians on a more 'back-to-our-roots' kinda americana/rock band, Braker Lane .
These are just some songs not currently tied to either or any project. Probably will be some BL acoustic demos up soon. Who knows?
Noli's now almost 21 months old. She knows who johnny Cash, Townes Van Zandt and john Lennon are. She'd know Dylan too, but his poster is on the other side of the door. She knows the difference between daddy's red, blue, black and 'coo' (acoustic) guitars. She knows what rock n roll is and would rather dance to music or beat drums more than most anything else. She recently has began singing and playing harmonica too. She headbanged to Dinosaur Jr. I love her so much.
Her mother, Stephanie, is as beautiful/wonderful as ever. I'm not going to brag about how she can recognize all of my guitars here, because.... well, she's 24.
I think it's time for me to go play some loud music.
See ya soon.

If anyone is wondering (or cares)...

Two things are going on and keeping me busy for the moment (with many busier to come), thus no shows, news or correspondence for the most part. 1. Greg and I -really- have begun recording again. The ...
