I have been playing guitar for over 25 years now. While I enjoy playing my electrics, I am namely an acoustic
player at heart. I have been songwriting for almost as long as I have been playing guitar.
I started song writing, however
terribly, as a teenager. Truly, if you keep at something long enough, you are bound to get better at it. (I know that
I have gotten better because when I play publically folks love the songs.)
Over the years, music has been a creative outlet
for me, and a soulful way to express my thoughts. Somehow I have managed to reach 100 songs in my personal catalog while raising a family and working a 'day job'. I have to
admit that I miss sharing more of my songs on the road. Sadly, that life is hard on a family, and it doesn't necessarily pay as regularly and as steady, as other jobs do.
The items below are songs, and in some cases, instrumentals, that have simply been recorded as time permitted. I hope you enjoy the tunes.
