Hi all you cool cats out there! Thanks for visiting my site. See my cool pics at the bottom of this page. Click "go to the MUSIC PAGE" just above my song list to check out all of my tunes, the lyric, chart positions and the new pictures that complement my songs. These recordings are rough copyright versions; Although I did show a CD with 9 of these songs to POWERSOURCE MAGAZINE's publishing department while in Nashville TN who accepted 4 of these tunes to pitch; also one was accepted by Destiny Row a Nashville record company mentioned below. Being a keyboardist/songwriter/lyricist I write, play and record my own original music including Rock, Country Crossover, blends of Easy Listening/R&B/Pop: also instrumentals with Rock, Classical, Jazz, and Country highlights. These recordings were written and recorded from 95' to 99' in my small home studio. The tracks are clear, well mixed, vocals are up front, tunes have drive, lyric are very "hookish" and catchy, and the songs have a BEAT that'll get your toes tappin'. I sing on these songs, but do not consider myself a vocalist. I have friends and connections in Nashville TN. CEO Ronnie Cantrell & Jane his A&R mngr loved my song; I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU STILL LOVE ME and let me hang with them at DESTINY ROW RECORDS in 2006 on MUSIC ROW Nashville TN, just a few blocks from Studio B, where Elvis recorded. Ron was thinking about placing that tune on ROW's newest artist Kelsey's next CD...but eventually passed. My intentions are to write and record current style hookish commercial songs that will cross over genres. I am looking for co-writers and am available for studio work, I catch on quickly, and would like to train-work as an engineer in a studio. When you listen to 3 DAYS LATE, please read along with the lyric page ....it's a duet, and I sing both parts... you may not get the message unless you do. It was mentioned by a friend of mine- a Nashville writer's night promotor- that my writing in 3 DAYS LATE is "really close" to what they're putting out in the Nashville music scene. You can view the lyric for any song, along with the chart positions by clicking on FULL next to each song. Rock On! You can read my true short stories, poems, and more cool lyric embellished with pictures.

Story behind the song
I met a 15 year old female singer/songwriter writer from Adrian MI through a Detroit News add....her name was Amanda; nickname "Dallas." Said her relative was Tanya Tucker. She sent me several letters and a picture. So, I decided to help her with her career. Got her in a studio to record, gave her a ton of industry tips, and connections. I had compassion for her because she did sing a bit flat, but she was energetic an optimistic, wanted to be a "star". She was advised to get vocal coaching. She snubbed me, and went nuts over the cute studio owner I referred her to telling me " I don't need you anymore." Good story anyways.
