Artist picture
No claims of being a performer. I just give it what little I've taught myself musically by songwriting. Recorded by mic, straight to computer as sound on sound.
Born at an early age, I was just a kid at the time....from there memory escapes me, until 2000 or 2001 when I decided to teach myself guitar. In order to teach myself guitar, I took to writing songs. From there, I added bass and occasionally, harmonica and a small touch of electric guitar. Not much of a performer, but I love to experiment writing songs. So, it's nine or ten years into it so far....and I've only scratched the surface with tons to learn. Maybe, you'll find something you like on the nearly three pages, I've loaded so far....Comments are welcome, I don't expect all comments to be favorable, but objectively constructive. I make no claims of being a performer....I just give it my best with what little that I've taught myself both musically and in songwriting. All songs are either written, played and sang by myself or my attempt at covering a song by my favorite artists.

Approval polls mean nothing unless it's in favor with Wade Farlowe as the best songwriter on Soundclick. You have my vote! My Stars! Are you good!

We love the picture you used for this political tune. Candace and I love the lyrics you wrote , we can still remember the shock and awe these twins put us through. They never considered precious life when they ordered Johnny off to war. Uncle sam can be a son of a b*** sometimes. More often than not if you ask us. You tell the story of Hoss so tactfully , we just freakin love it, solid gold writing. The melody works perfectly and the harmonica is great!!!!!! This will go on our station...Thanks for taking the words out of my mouth on this one ~WadeStarr~ Bata boom you just hit the high score***************************************** I hope everyone pays close attention to these suberb words of yours!!!!!!!!
