It has been 21 years since that fateful day Bill Kingbury convinced me that if I just put "one word with one chord and let the song go where it need to" I too could become a true singer/songwriter. He made me promise I wouldn't worry if the song was "good" or not but just write the music donw because it was there. Since then I have seen the technology go from 4 track tape to cassette to digital (my Roland 880) and now the computer base work stations with all the virtual signal processors and unlimited tracks. I started recording and sending the tapes off to family and friends then graduated to cassettes with a few friend to play along (Tom Baumgartner and Alan Frost most notably). In 1994 I got the Roland 880 and with the band Gypsyfire produced 6 CD's that actually sold to a few special fans. Now I find the spiral has carried me back to the musical beginnings...just the guitar, voice and the story. I hope the journey has been as exciting and affirming for you as it has been for me and i hope the songs reflect well on the people, places and experiences of those 21 years.
