Here is (hopefully) a short bio:



I guess my love for music started out when at a very young age, I found myself playing whatever records we had in the house, pretty much all the time. For my Mom and Dad’s contributions – I specifically remember playing their Elvis, The Supremes, The Fifth Dimension, Eddy Arnold, Roy Orbison, Nat King Cole and John Denver records. My Sister’s contributions were Neil Diamond and The Beatles. I suppose the rest during this time were all pretty much my own discoveries such as Alice Cooper, Elton John, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris and of course The Rolling Stones!



Musically, I am self taught. I didn't start playing guitar until I was 17. I really only started playing when it became apparent that I should try to be a little more productive with both my time and with music (because playing and buying records just seemed to be about the only thing I really seemed to truly find joy in). So I consider myself a 'late starter' - but nonetheless - I have started!!!



After realizing at some point that I really wasn't going to be the 'great' guitar player I had been envisioning for myself, and thought that on occassion - I can actually carry a tune (though sometimes with a bucket), I decided that songwriting was really what I wanted most to pursue.



I like to think that 'a good song is a good song'. I like many different types of music, from many different types of artists. It is my belief that if you have a good song to start with - that regardless of the performance and sound quality of the recording - a good song will shine through (well, maybe it has to be a REALLY good song!).



With that said - posted here are a few of my demos and songs. I have recently completed building own home recording studio and with that - hope to be producing not only more (and better) songs, but better recordings as well.



I've been doing open mics and gigs for just over a couple years now and really enjoy playing out whenever I can.



Thanks for reading and most of all - thanks for listening! :)



MySpace has been such a great place to find new music (just like mine), please check out some of my ‘Top Friends’ pages for their music as well… a nice variety of music from some very nice people… enjoy! :)
