FROM MY WEBSITE BIO... Jim Croce, Simon & Garfunkel, Gordon Lightfoot, Peter, Paul, & Mary, Pete Seeger, and the rock & roll of the early ’70s formed the backdrop for an appreciation of lyrics and storytelling. "My mom says I would run around singing ‘Sunshine Go Away Today’ just so I could shout the word ‘Damned!’. I still love music for that freedom. My friend’s mom had an 8-track player in her car and we would be listening to Jim Croce (Rapid Roy) and Simon & Garfunkel (Baby Driver) all the time. Now my kids are listening to it too. It’s great!" Picking up his father’s copy of Pete Seeger’s "red book", a Mel Bay chord book, and a Guild classical guitar they still own, he taught himself to tune and then play guitar. The Crawdad Song, This Land Is Your Land, and Skip To My Lou became his first songs - songs he plays to this day. "I believe we could eradicate a lot of the bad music that is being pushed on our kids today if we exposed them to Folk Music as a base. I’m serious about that. Once you’ve tasted strong lyrics, its hard to go back." ================================ I am a published author (1 book and more on the way plus numerous articles). I have been writing music since I was a kid but after having my book and some poetry published, decided to return to my musical roots. I record mostly at home using an M-Adudio Firewire Solo, a couple compressor mics, Samplitude Music Studio (version 14 right now), Audacity audio, and some other PC tools.
