I play around New Mexico with two bands: THE GYPSY FEET BAND (with Charlie Alfero, Shems Nickles and Greg Renfro) and as lead guitarist for Scott van Linge.
I am always working on new music, and meeting people who introduce me to new ideas and approaches. Some are musicians, some are lyricists, some are kindred spirits and well wishers. And the excellent Michael Sullivan helps make sure I have the electric guitar I want--check out the photos of the new custom Strat. Now we are working on revamping an older one for a different sound entirely.
Influences
Bob Dylan, Charles Ives, Leonard Cohen, Paul Simon, Big Bill Broonzy, Antonio Carlos Jobim, George Gershwin, Benny Goodman, Stan Rogers, Lonnie Johnson, Sue Foley....
Sounds Like
The soft and mournful cry of a ship's whistle in the fog.
I've been making music since the 60s, and work in a variety of styles. I am collaborating with a couple of excellent songwriters on some songs, and I create music for videos as well.
My new solo instrumental CD, BLUE LIGHT, was released by Morrhythm Records. You can check it out at their web site. Search on my name and you'll find SOFT DREAMING BLUES, as well.
I've performed at the Silver City (New Mexico) Blues Festival (twice), at the Tucson (Arizona) Folk Festival in 2006, at the Glenwood Folk Festival in 2003 and 2005, Pickamania (2008) and frequently appear at various clubs.
My main passion is writing and arranging. I love to have my work used, incorporated into other people's presentations, for example. My songs have been used by Discovery Health Channel, Court TV and in other programs. I composed and recorded the underscore and theme song for a documentary for Oceans of Opportunity I also love writing for other singers!
If you would like to use some of my music in your video, or website, or other application, you can find a variety at
My first real studio recording available on my page. Song "We Were Just Lonely" Written By Jeff Twardzik. Recoreded Here in Denver at Rocky Mountain Recorders. It was lots of fun, I hope you enjoy it!

LOVE IS NOT GUILTY
Why is it so hard for me to say hello, You’ve hit my heart like an arrow, Give me your endless breath, So I could cheat death, I feel your heart beat in my chest.
I’m walking in your direction, All I feel is pain, Love is a losing game, Feels like I’m falling from the sky, I have no wings to fly, Why can’t you just be mine? Life is a one way mission, So I need your heart to listen,
Get to know me, You might get lonely, I could see through your eyes, Love is not guilty, Forget about going our separate ways, Love is a such crazy thing, You make me burn without the flame, Another unsolved mystery, Love is not guilty.
