Musician and song writer in Seattle, Washington.
For as long as I can remember, music has been a passion of mine. While playing for a live audience is great fun (most of the time), I've always had a special interest in recording -- both the technology and the process itself. These days I don't play gigs any more, but I enjoy writing and recording music for others to hear online. Hopefully, you'll find something you like here. Don't forget to look at the individual song pages for lyrics and information about my collaborators. Thanks for visiting.

Lyrics
Along the inland ocean from Duluth to Grand Marais The cliffs are dappled with the shades of autumn While beneath the chilling waters the battered shipwrecks lie Their silent relics scattered on the bottom The waves crash restless on the shore and drive away the sand And though I'd seen this place before I did not understand How time could change so many things and leave the rest untouched How a man could lose most everything and still believe so much They say these shores are haunted by the ghosts of sailing men Who lost their breath beneath the icy swells And though the waves protect their graves their sighs are heard again When the winter wind comes calling for their souls The waves crash restless on the shore and drive away the sand And though I'd seen this place before I did not understand How time could change so many things and leave the rest untouched How a man could lose most everything and still believe so much When you hear the voice of winter in the crying of the gull And you feel the wind a bitin' at your cheek When the moon hangs on the water like a half remembered call Then you know that life's a promise you can't keep The waves crash restless on the shore and drive away the sand And though I'd seen this place before I did not understand How time could change so many things and leave the rest untouched How a man could lose most everything and still believe so much
