"Sonderfan excels both as pianist and as lunatic"

About Me

I am a self-taught pianist and accordionist who just thinks there are way too many "serious" artists out there. I write music to just be entertaining, and even in my serious songs, there exist tinges of comedy. I will never boast that I'm the best piano player in the world, but I've always felt confident about my songwriting.I also recently deleted my other "non-professional" MySpace account, as if this page is highly serious. So this is also my social outlet. Let it be known that I can be your friend and I won't just inundate you with shameless promotion. Be my friend, and you never know what you'll get, though it probably will rhyme with shedache.
