With his plunky, syncopated guitar picking and a voice that sounds like he gargles onion soup mix, D.W. Ditty renders songs from blues to folk to just plain fun, all with a sly smile and a tip of his black felt hat...... Click on image to order DW's CD now!
Oh and for all of you who know Melody and Whitney...and Skye, too..I'm their Dad!

I love your version of Hold On. It is funny man I have been thinking about ding a cover of that as well lol. I love Waits and cover several of his songs. That is a great cover man. Somone said something about you doing a version of Shake Sugaree. I would love to hear that. I love that song. Take it easy man and I enjoyed your songs on here. cya JT

DW, I want to thank you for previously listing a few CT open mikes on my Blog. Shel Cooper also posted a list of CT open mikes on my blog. And I just now posted a link to a searchable site of CT Open mikes. Here's hoping that the searchable site is up to date. I encourage people to write them with updates. . So - been making much new music, lately? Alan
I love your music too man. I appreciate the comment. I will be posting more songs coming up. I will start putting up my originals before long as well. Thanks man I really appreciate it.
Thanks for stopping by my page. You have a great sound. Been meaning to make it up to one of your open mikes, but life just doesn't seem to want to slow down. Catch ya all at some point!
I was just holding it for my friend... when the photographer happened along. It is a nice old Gibson (THE gibson) but I only have played one song on it ...lucky me to have gotten the chance. So,....not mine, and I do not know the particulars.
