Hey there!!----welcome to my------CD Page-. Now for a little bit about me.-- Born in North Carolina , the son of a career MARINE. We lived all over the U S and other country's until my teenage years when we settled at a map dot in the Midwest. I grew up like most small town teenage boys---hot cars, fast bikes,haulin hay and chasing girls. Then I found my lady at our local burger joint, soon after I was grown up with three boys.
You no doubt have heard the saying- I've done it all ?-- Well I've done it all--here goes, I've been a----grocery boy, gas station attendant, TV antenna installer, salesman, dairy farm hand, car stereo installer, welder, business owner, back hoe operator, truck driver, dog handler/trainer, warehouse mgr., carpenter, steel building const., dump truck driver, sound man/roadee, laser operator, and I no doubt forgot something.
O K so much for the first half a century now lets talk about today and the future. Right now I am retired on disability due to a work accident in October of 2005 and it doesn't look like I'll be able to go back to work very soon.--But I can still plink around on my ol'e guitar and write a song when one appears at the end of my pencil.
My favorite singer songwriters-- Guy Clark, Steve Earl, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Willie Nelson, John Prine, James Taylor, Dwight Yoakam, Rodney Crowell, Kris Kristofferson, John Mellencamp, Merle Haggard, Jackson Browne, Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash, John Hiatt, Lyle Lovett, Hank Williams Jr. and Sr. Townes Van Zandt, Ramblin Jack Elliot, Woody Guthrie, Waylon Jennings, Buddy Miller, Paul Simon, The Band, Robert Earl Keen, Bonnie Raite, Gillian Welch, John Fogerty, Jimmy Buffet, Jim Croce-- They are the greats and I hope they have influenced me.
My CD--Words Lines & Rhymes is jamm packed with 19 solo/acoustic/folk/country songs, Some will tell you a story (some true, some not so true)--Some might make you smile--Some might make you cry--Some might make you think-- some might make you remember a time in your life-------I recorded these songs with the intentions of creating a feeling of me sitting in your living room singing to you--I believe I have done that. What you are hearing here is just me my guitar and harmonica--a simple recording
