About Me

Indiana-based singer/songwriter, playing mostly for free, for friends, and for fun. My first and only album is "Stories and Metaphors, Slightly Offtune," recorded in my basement one day in March, 2003. I live in the Flying Squirrel Co-op in Indianapolis, Indiana, on my little sacred city lot, and I am the community outreach coordinator for a local environmental improvement non-profit, planting trees trees trees ...

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