  • Bio

    I'm what they call a performing songwriter. I write, play and sing my own music. The next question of course is always; "So, what kind of music do you play?" and my stock response is something like "It's the sum of my influences and experiences and is therefor ever changing"....but in musical reference terms, well, I'd have to say it's my own blend of jazz, blues, rock, pop, and folk influences. lemme see...Sorta like Louis Armstrong is the conductor on a train, and while the Beatles and James Taylor are drinking gin and playing rummy in the observation car, Hendrix watches and pets a cat. I play a LOT... I play all over Southern California, the Southwest, and all the way up the west coast through Oregon and Washington. Just me and an acoustic guitar....though I spent years (and years, and years) in bands, I realized somewhere around 2002 that in order to play as much as I want to I needed to trim down to the essentials - and keep the overhead WAY down - so now it's just me and my guitar and an endless highway.... :^) .. .. ...... .. .. ......

  • Influences

    Just about everyone I've ever heard has influenced me in some manner. Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Hank Williams (Senior), Merle Haggard, Joe Pass, Thelonius Monk, The Funk Brothers, and many, many more....all for different reasons and to different effect. Oh, and by the way: ............Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?....

    Someone once hollered out at a show "Sting meets the Beatles!".....uuuhh, for the life of me I can't think of a higher compliment.

    So. lots of people have already told you that you are great. And I can't think of an original way to say it, so I am leaving you some "words of Wisdom".

    This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could read it every day.

    You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.


    1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.

    2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

    3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

    4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

    5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

    6. You mean the world to someone.

    7. You are special and unique.

    8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

    9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

    10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look.

    11. Always remember the compliments you received.

    12, Forget about the rude remarks.


    And always remember....

    when life hands you Lemons, ask for Tequila and Salt and call me over!
