About me:
i'm here to get the word out about my music & to meet musicians who might want to collaborate on future recording projects or dc area gigs. like what you hear? add me, drop me a line, buy my cd, tell your friends. i'm not into promoting myself & have no desire to be famous. i just want to sing and to uplift people's hearts and have fun. "intone," my debut cd, has as its lyrics excerpts from the writings of Baha'u'llah, the Bab, and 'Abdu'l-Baha. i have also written a couple songs with my own lyrics and can play tons of off-the-beaten path folk-pop covers. and of course i can sing jazz standards if i have the right accompanist. so if you are interested in music that uplifts the spirit and promotes peace and human values, please message me.
Dropping by to wish you the best day ever and tomorrow do the same. If you have the means please give a couple of dollars to charity. Be it to fight Diabetes, Asthma, Cancer, Hunger, AIDS, or any other cause that touches your heart. I know of no better feeling than what you feel when you make another person’s day a little better.

Hi Katharine, awesome to hear from you, its been a while. Thanks for getting hold of the albums. I hope you like Steel Happenings, its an early one but probably my favourite, wrote most of them as a teenager! let me know what you think. The new one is out in a couple of weeks, album launch not untill may though, waiting to do it as part of a jazz festival on 23rd. but it will hopefully be around before that. As for nylon, im not sure mate. maybe one day I will get the inspiration to pick it up again, but ive been enjoying the rounds of other types of guitars, fretless, jazz guitars, acoustic, even piano and double bass was most prominent on my last album! I hope your well, you definately sound it! wishing you peace, love and great music for this year and on! take care. speak soon! six x
Katharine - Thanks for the add! Your music and song set sounds terrific! Good-luck to you and your music in 2009! Have a great weekend and take care! - Pat
