my first song was    the snow queen  ; written when i was 10 and i imagined an android woman who could take the cold and was called the snow queen.
" the snow queen fell out of her space ship and landed in a place in my heart
the snow queen whose eyes flash like fire,   has sworn that we never will part"
years later i put it in my song   "cygnus a" :

 my first attemp at poery was in the fifth grade for a poetry contest . it went
" sometimes i wish that i could fly. just like a bird up in the sky.
to be up there    without a care and watch the weary world go by". i took second place losing to a guy writing about the civil war.

i was in a rock band in high school and wrote songs for them. they did my first comnplete song  "wait for me"   bout soldier  in battle  writin girl sayin  wait for me.    a  friend pointed out   that i took  tune phrase   from   " they call  the wind mariah "    and    "soldier boy"     .  shockin me that i acciden did it and   i said   yeah but the lyrics and feelins  are mine.    and its a hit   playin in kids head alll   day. (probable not)  it went       "every man turned 18 years  must fight for liverty.   my heart grew strong i shed no tears strength came to comfort me            as i cried out  oh wait for me,  darling oh please wait for me .   illl be comin home from my journey someday".   i swore him to secrecy and no one else figured it out.  it was accidental on my part.   pretty good for song 1. i started out as rhythm guitar player , but ended up a drummer.

i write songs typically while driving or walking or waiting, sometimes in my dreams (freaky) i usually get about 16 lines and get stuck. then eventuallly get the bridge and complete the song. i have written about 30 complete songs and 300 song seeds ( 16 lines).  i then target a song and complete it on my computer under "sony acid music studio"  software to make mp3 .  my lyrics tend to be very lengthy without repeats. a song is always playing in my head. if i don't work on the song seeds,the song demons get angry for they want to be completed. i write pop,rock country, wierd beatles, bob dylan type,love ballads and demented songs.
