Crafting Dreams into Reality

About Me

Hello and thanks for dropping by~ I wanted to spread the word that I'll be releasing a full length CD of new and old material. My influences are stretched from a long list of today and yesterday's greatest artists. I will keep in touch throughout my music making process and hope you will receive my invitation to listen.I've been writing songs for over a decade to keep me' head fresh. Acoustic born tunes with endless depths of Soul and "Feelgood Dogooder". I've turned diddies into full length songs and giving birth to gracious melodies & lyrics.. I've been recording on and off for three years at Recording Arts in Fairfax with producer Marco Delmar. Playing guitar and vocals on all tracks. I've also got some talented local musicians from the Northern Virginia area to join and support in my efforts which are below in my top friends.In respect of being my lover and bestfriend, Ann has stuck with me through some really hard times. Also, a singer songwriter this young lady has proved to me that anything is possible. With 10 songs nearly complete I plan to put out a full length CD by Summer 2008. A Music Myspace will be on the way once I the songs are mixed and mastered. Lastly, while here on Myspace I'm in search of long lost friends and acquaintances and the pursuit of "Happiness" and forth fore most to spread the word that I'm alive!!!!! God Bless All Of You- That Have Touched Me, Changed Me, Or Have Wronged Me~
