About this site:

There has always been something in me to want to make music; or, at least try, because I enjoy it so much.  While there is just about never any response at all to something I do, and I've never really pursued music as a profession, I keep doing it anyway. I'm just wired that way. 

I've been in bands, and worked with others, but invariably dissatisfied with that, I've preferred to do everything myself.  That's what this is.  Unless otherwise noted, for better or worse, this is entirely my own particular expression.

I don't write music well, so these have all been written by other people. A study of the masters as others do.

​

Why a website:

- I never thought anything I did was worthy of promotion or display until one day a studio engineer said that what he had just mastered for me was ready to put out on the internet. Hmm. Encouragement! Could someone be interested or enjoy this?

- Over time there are so many recordings I've done scattered all over the place that I'm losing track of recordings and also forgetting what I've done. This is a way of organizing and bringing together many things into one place.

- Years ago someone was interested and asked me if I had a website, which I certainly didn't. Should someone ever ask me that again, or simply ask what I have been doing, this will convey what I've done with at least some of my life and which also conveys something of me as a person.

​

So then, this is a number things I've done on my own since I first turned on my tape machine in 1975 till now in 2025. - fifty years and fifty songs. Maybe like an autobiography in music. As long as I keep breathing, there will likely be more.

If you’re at all interested to dip into this, 2014 Another Star and 2007 Linus and Lucy might be a fun intro. 

I've often thought I should do them all over again because I could do them better, but I always get interested in some new project.

​

In any case, even if no one is interested or doesn't like this, I've taken to heart the sage advice of choreographer Martha Graham to a discouraged choreographer Agnes DeMille to keep her unique artistic "channel" open:

"There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique.  And if you block it, it will be lost.  The world will not have it.  It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions.  It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.  You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work.  You have to keep yourself open and aware directly to the urge that motivates you. Keep the channel open."
