Music
I'm a bit of music nut. I love music. Mostly British Rock. Sorry, America, but Britian has you beat. You know why? Two words: Bad Teeth.
But music is perhaps one of the greatest motivators in my life. Music is like an artist painting on canvas, however it can paint colours that you've never seen before...take you places you've never been...and is able to connect to something within you.

Introductions...
Hi, my name's Joe. I'm a songwriter and lyrical poet with Irish blood and a Scottish heart.
My writing style is of a type where I like telling stories about the little moments and events that get overlooked in this fast-paced and sometimes hectic life. I also write about things I observe in the world that I see in the news. I'm also not afraid to attack the rich and powerful with commentaries in song and verse.
I began writing in January of 2004. By January of 2006, I started writing full time because I knew this was what I was meant to do. It's funny seeing I used to hate writing whilst growing up. I would never have thought I'd be doing it as a career! (Though, it doesn't really pay.)
If you're interested in viewing my work, please visit me in Writersville...
Here you'll find my latest songs and poetic releases (at least one a day), my thoughts on what's going on in the world and other links of interest.

Also, check out the sites of R.J. Keller. She's a sparkling new writer from Maine. Ultra talented and original in the stories she writes. A true artist. Her first novel is entitled Waiting For Spring. It's a brilliant story of life, hope and loss. A true work of art, if I may say so. You'll find her at the following sites:
Who I'd like to meet: Bob Dylan, Billy Bragg, KT Tunstall, Luke Bullen, Kenny Dickenson, Sam Lewis, Arnulf Lindner, Donna Maciocia, Cat Sforza, Ed & Gita Harcourt.
I would also love to meet someone who could get me to Scotland. Please, someone take me to Scotland! ..
