The songs I posted here are basement tapes, recorded on a radio shack flat casette tape recorder, as well as collaborations with brilliant artists from dmusic, soundclick and myspace.
I was a singer/songwriter/guitarist for 35 years until a series of unfortunate events put me into a coma for 4 weeks, and had me in the hospital for 2 months.
I woke up as a quadraplegic. After 6 months in a rehabilitation hospital, I was able to regain some strength in my arms and hands, hold my head up and sit up without tipping over. I was left as a paraplegic, on oxygen, with irretractable pain in my coccys and feet.
After many attempts to sing, I had tests done which showed that I only had one vocal chord closing properly, thus, my singing career was over. After months of trying to play guitar the spasms in my arms and hands left my guitar career over, also..
I decided I can still write lyrics, and have partnered with some of the best talent over at DMusic, Myspace and here at Soundclick. These tracks kept music in my life when I thought I lost everything.
You'll be able to tell the difference between my basement tapes, and my writing collaborations. I invite you to contact me if you want to try a collaboration!
Make sure to go to dmusic.com for a great/live interaction musicians community, lending itself for solo, band and collaboration's.

New CD Release!
Nov 3, 2009

There's a lot of talent online at music communities on the web and more than a few of them are represented here on the COVER ME CD. This is a project that has taken 3 years, and about 1000 years of experience to make. I don't want to talk up the CD too much because, well, after all, I wrote the songs (you can hear me perform them on my "BASEMENT TAPES" CD, but these are some fine covers. It's really a last hurrah for these songs as I am not able to perform them anymore, and I feel so honored that these friends became involved with the project. Please join me in enjoying our friend's great work, and make an $8 (plus $1.25 postage) donation (by purchasing the cd) to the National Alliance For Mental Illness, the Save Darfur.Org, and the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. All sales will be divided between these three charities. Featuring Baiko (Branko Mendjan), Gene Hilbert, Songbird (Katie Barkhimer), Jolee (Nora Lee), Carlo D'Anna, Lasse Joennson (last years singer of the DM Folk Song of the Year, "Grandma's Song), Kirill Gurtovenko, Ian Campbell, and the mastering magic of Vickxxx (Victor Patron). I'll be posting some of these tracks online sometime soon.
