About Me

I'm a songwriter, musician and published poet. I play guitar primarily, but can dabble on other instruments such as drums, bass, and flute. I'm also adept at sequencing drums and keys.I live in NY now, but used to own a small commercial recording facility in San Diego called Notepad Studio, where I recorded many of the top local groups in the city. You can see a list on my blog.At the moment, I'm home caring my dad, a tough old bird who is finally slowing down now that he's in his 90's. He's a veteran of WWII and the North African campaigns, Battle of the Bulge, and more.Eventually, I want to get out and perform again. In the meantime, I'm writing new songs, woodshedding, and trying to get either of my two novels published while working on a third.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 5/22/2008
Influences: I don't know how much they've influenced me because at the time they were recording, I wasn't a musician, but Lennon/McCartney (and Paul solo) are the greatest songwriters of all to me. I also admire George Gershwin, Bob Dylan, Holland/Dozier/Holland (Motown), Paul Simon, Pete Townsend, and many others.
Record Label: Notepad Records (For album "Hungry For Attention")
Type of Label: Indie
