Story

I just love to play Music, write music and perform when I can. Been in bands that fell apart. Then home recording became easier and less expensive with the new technology, so I just record my songs in my old school fashion. I also collaborate with good friends. Its all just for fun.

What is music to you? What does it give you?

Music is a powerful tool. You just need to know what you want to do with it. Some like to tell stories. Some want to excite you physically and some want to make you dream. I like to do a little bit of each. Its an outlet, an expression and a venue that those who aren't musically inclined are robbed of.

What is your music dream?

Ive got it right now. A worldwide exposure and a couple thousand folks that say they are a fan of what I do. I DONT have to deal with the industry and I DONT have to do it for a living, just enjoyment. How much better can it be.

If you could change the world - what would you start with?

Id make it flat again. There are a few people that need to be shoved off.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Peggy Sue.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

The Zombies and almost everyone British Invasion.

What inspires you to make music?

Its in my DNA. Both sides of my family are musically inclined.

What is the message you want to send with your music?

See, you don't have to be a GREAT singer or a Guitar virtuoso to make a good sound with a good feel.

Pumped.

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

GEt out of the "canned" music syndrome. Sing and play LIVE. It puts realit and soul into the music.

Makes me think of basketball. Droobleing down the court and all.....
