About Me

I've been writing songs, lyrics, and poems for more than forty years now. Playing off and on in the music business like a kid playing in the streets, ducking and dodging the on coming traffic only to discover the street is where I live, where I feel most at home. Face it, I'm not going to stop wriiting and while I may not like the oncoming cars, I do so love the asphalt, the turf, this nurturing earth that feeds my soul.
So I continue the journey and pick up the hardware, broken pieces, the bloated bag of dreams and pursue, pursue, pursue. Right now, it's just me, the love and the desire to share what comes through with others. Old enough to appreciate the blues I find in my morning cereal. I look in this mirror and see the casing has wrinkles forming on its edges, but within, the spirit still burns bright. So, I no longer worry about the danger in the streets for the band will find me, lord knows the music already has.
Stay in touch, the grass is growing right where we stand. Amura
