//Someone once asked me what I write songs about. "Questions", I said. I suppose I love questions because I ask a lot of them. I believe they save lives. Mine, at least. Because in the exhaustingly, long corridors where questions grow and reside...there is equal chance of finding honest hope and honest sadness. Sometimes both. Sometimes both at once. And both are beautiful, necessary, and inspiring. I desire to make my living as a songwriter and I am looking in that direction...with excitement. But fancy trimmings, or not...I’ll be writing. I am currently teamed up with the brilliant Tony Morra, as my producer. More to come. I am also a percussionist. "boombabyboomvanillagroove" is my drumming stage name. Just kidding. I play with various folks/groups around town (live & studio). Please stop back by soon. I’ll be sharing news, thoughts, and tunes from time to time. And for you, my invisible friend, I wish you peace today. Peace and laughter...an unstoppable combination.

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
