I'm a guitarist, singer, and songwriter from central Kentucky. My music is a mix of many different influences; from the country and western I heard as a child to some stuff I heard yesterday. I was a full time, working musician for over twenty years; doing clubs and concerts all over the eastern U.S., but mainly in Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, and Florida. I have played every kind of venue; from the smallest, seediest club to 10,000 seat concert halls. Loved every minute of it. I also spent many hours in various studios as both musician and producer on a variety of projects. I am now a part time musician; I divide my musical time between writing and recording my own songs and playing with a great bunch of musicians in a band called "The Grandees". I write songs primarily to make you shake your money maker. I'm not deep, and I'm certainly no virtuoso. I just want you to have a good time. The songs I have here are from my second solo CD, titled "The Twisted Tale Of The Honky Tonk Monkey", which is available at CDBaby.com and my upcoming CD "Bad Choices Make Good Stories". My first CD, "All Night Radio", is available at CD Baby and fine CD discount bins everywhere. Thank you for visiting, and... TURN IT UP!!!!!

Lyrics
Last night I had a terrible dream I couldn't run and I couldn't scream A bunch of politicians coming down my street They had teeth like pirahnnas and big clown feet They rolled over everything like a Texas flood And I knew right away they were out for my blood They took my car and turned it into a tank And gave my money to the Federal Bank They outlawed dancin' and they taxed my shoes Made it a felony to sing the blues They wanted my house but they couldn't agree So they burned it down and gave the ashes to me They said "We know what we're doin' so whatever you do, Don't get in our way or we'll outlaw you" Look out all you people 'Cause they'll be comin' for you Seems the whole damn world Got the Politician Blues They'll tell you this and they'll promise you that All they really want to do is make their wallet fat They got the TV crowd And the newspapers too Seems the whole damn world Got the Politician Blues They'll tell you the enemy is right over there Then they'll give 'em your food and sell 'em your hair They'll say the situation's lookin' awful funny But we could figure it out if you give us more money The whole damn crowd is just a waste of space They wouldn't know the truth if it smacked their face There's only one answer for the fix we're in Kick 'em all out and start all over again I'm tellin' you people We need somethin' new Seems the whole damn world Got the Politician Blues
