About Me

OK, an actual bio thingy. Where does one actually start with this sort of thing? For me it started at a very young age. I grew up in Iowa and my parents had friends that we'd visit on the weekends. They had a piano there that I would sit at for hours and just pound on. I'm quite sure that this was quite irritating for most that were unfortunately subject to this very early form of abuse from me, but I have to say that this is where it all started. I find all types of musical instruments very interesting. A few years later, I asked for a guitar for christmas. Well, I got one, sort of. It was this little plastic accoustic guitar, that I busted the hell out of. Again probably making a very obnoxious noise. I think that that guitar eventually ended up smashed to bits, as I had seen done on television by one band or another. I guess that it's good that I didn't find any lighter fluid to do it up ala'jimi', I might have just burned the house down with that little number. Through the years I had always been a huge fan of all kinds of music, and well, art in general as a form of expression. I'd picked up a guitar at a pawn shop (which I still have), and between helping bands, booking clubs, and all sorts of other adventures in between I started to form some musical ideas in my head that have built up over a period of time. Through heartaches, and the avalanches that I have experienced in my life, I've found a way to express some of that. The songs that you see hear...... (Yeah that's a stupid pun.), are part of the person that I have become in these years. I like to think of them as children in a way, that grow in time, and sometimes have multiple meanings. I hope you like them. If you do, let me know, or even let a friend know..... Support Local music!!!! Think for yourself!!!!! I created my profile with Myspace Layouts+

Why the name Coup D'etat?

now will last forever

OK.... Just so you know... The compression that myspace seems to give songs, brings this one over the top. When you get the cd it sounds much better. I'm amazed at the difference in sound really. Wond...

Halo

'Halo', is a song that I'd had on the back burner for some time, and through working with it, decided that the rawness of this version is something that I really liked. To me it has this kind of down ...
