About Me

picked up the guitar for the second time during the late eighties. noodled around trying to learn chords, while temporarily alienating most friends and family. the songs here were written and recorded between 1993 and 2003.

no shelf space? no problem. that old snoopy glass you've loved since you were ten? a bit of carelessness, a zillion tiny pieces of glass, and a dustpan. out with the trash. case solved.
