MySpace a place for friends

I got bored with playing other people's songs . . . Most main-stream bands were copying each other; that's a stagnant pond. I'm thirsty and want to drink from the fresh stream of inspiration.

It's not easy to say what style of music I'm playing. People are always telling me: "It sounds kinda like . . . " (fill in the blank)

I write Jazz, Folk, Blues, Rock, New age, Fusion, Classical, swing, finger-picking stuff, boogie and more . . . most of the music is pretty jazzy.

I write and play what I feel. I just crystalize my current mood into music. I have a lot of feelings, so I write a lot of different styles of music. I'm usually pretty upbeat - and so is my music . . .

While looking for the right ‘flavor’ chord for a new song, I still stumble on new chords, new sounds. And new feelings . . .

I've accumulated several hundred chords, and exposed hundreds of emotions, mostly good . . .

Sometimes my feelings creat the songs - sometimes my songs create the feelings . . .

I like a lot of different styles of music. If I play 10 songs, you'll likely hear 9-10 different styles of music . . . I've over 50 copyrighted songs, so far . . .

I had been perfoming solo instrumentals for years, but now I'm teamed up with Jill Bowen, Chris Lennox and Joe Cavanagh. With a bass, a harmonica, and several sets of vocals, the songs are more fleshed out.

All my spare time is spent writing new music, writing new lyrics, recording, or rehearsing with the group, now. Everything is music . . .

So - what does the future hold for us? Well - so far I have invested thousands and thousands of hours of my life . . .

Make me an offer . . .
