Me? I love to write songs and sing them, and when I get tired of my songs I'll sing someone else's. My favorite instruments are ones that have strings: guitar, tenor banjo, ukulele, mandolin. I have two cd's out, and I'm also in an exciting new duo with the soulful Amy Lakanen called Cannonball McKay. Anyway, you can check out lots of my songs here, and link to the left to cdbaby.com where you can get cds and mp3s(downloads of full albums are $7.99 now), also on itunes and plenty of other sites.

Hope you enjoy. Peace and thanks for dropping by...

Apart from being one of those comments you rightfully hate with all your divine powers this also happens to be...well, my stupid attempt to leave a trace in your frontal lobe that'll last more than 10 seconds. I don't believe it'll work. Then again, I believe in unbelievable things.
The album. Download it. Either on iTunes or for free. Let it breathe on your playlist for a while. It will grace your chips, wires, ears. It'll make your aura shine. Then again, maybe you don't like presents. Which is perfectly fine.
