I've been an artist all my life,
but one of my great fantasies is to hear a song
of mine coming over the radio. (I hear Richard
Thompson playing one of my tunes!)
The lyrics are hugely important to me, and I like to think
of my songs as multi-leveled. The first listening has to hook
you of course, but then I hope that a deeper reflection will
occur with familiarity. Some of these songs are just a bit
silly, and involve fictitious characters, but they all stem
from my own introspection.
I'm a singer songwriter, in the folk/blues tradition.
I play out at coffeehouses when the mood strikes.
An attentive audience makes all the difference, and
I'm just not willing to sit in the smoke of a noisy
bar to "pay the dues". The dues will get
paid in another lifetime I guess!
