About Me

Oh Goodness, is this where I sell myself? I can say I play piano, sing, write and generally try to coordinate these things in a way that is pleasing to the ear without dissolving into packaged pop madness. Indie music and indie musicians completely rule my heart; I think it is the bravest and best thing to take wood and bone and flesh and make music from them; if you think about it; it's really a miracle. In fact, everything is a miracle. You, reading this blurb about me, perhaps an old friend or a total stranger...perhaps a music lover who stumbled onto this page...we are not separate, you and I. Welcome to these thoughts, these notes, this sci-fi miracle of technology giving you strangers who become familiar. I have made this music for you and I.

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
