Hi Y’all !!!

About Me

NOTE If you click on any of the links I have coded below, MySpace will launch a page that warns about potential phishing. Don't get freaked out--it's just their way of letting you know that when you click my links, you are being directed off of the overall myspace site and therefore, you should NOT be asked for a MySpace user name and password, which of course you will not be as these links are NOT phishing links.WELCOME Welcome to my Myspace space!!! Here you will find some of what I am up to musically. I am a Nashville-based songwriter with several dozen indie cuts and one major label and one major motion picture cut outstanding and a major label, major artist cut due out next month. I moved to Nashville from my long-time home in New Orleans on Mardi Gras day (March 4) in 2003 after traveling here once a month or so for several years. What a ride it's been (see my blogs here).For about a dozen more songs (and their lyrics) and info (contests, cuts, etc.) on what I have going on and who I write with, go to my Soundclick page .FISH PICTURE About the fish: That's a 17 lb. Redfish I caught off Port Sulphur in Louisiana. It's a small one--they routinely catch 30 and even and occasional 40 pounder down dere cher!!! See a picture of me at ASCAP. I won a prize down in Key West at the Key West Songwriters Festival for the smallest fish!!! Click here .
NEW ORLEANS SONGWRITERS FESTIVAL - "SONGFEST" Speaking of ASCAP, they and me (is that grammatically correct? Is it "it and Me" or "it and I"??? Anyway, you get it. "We" are creating the New Orleans Songwriters Festival (AKA "Songfest" or "NOSF") which will have it's inaugural run December 4-6th this year in, where else, New Orleans. So save the date. See the Songfest myspace site or the official Songfest site here .
WIKIRHYMER ONLINE RHYMING DICTIONARY I am also the creator of www.wikirhymer.com , an online rhyming dictionary in the form of a wiki that users can edit and add content to.
