I suppose the most accurate way to describe myself is that I write the songs that make a few people sing...here and there...upon occasion. With that being said, I’ve been very lucky and already have had more success than I would have been happy with. That doesn’t stop me, though. I have a deep love of good gospel music and I always will. I’m passionately pursuing country writing now, though, and it seems to be going well. Again, I rely on the generousity of those more talented than I, and they continue to amaze me. So, while Nashville continues to be kind to me, I’ll continue to play here and there and write a whole lot. And, hopefully, you’ll come out to a show and find something that you may want to sing along with...
In the meantime, here’s the ’official’ statement that you’d read about me in somewhere. I didn’t write it--feels too pretentious, but my brother thought I should put it up here:
