I'm a pretty self-indulgent songwriter, I admit, mainly my songs come from how I'm feeling about my own little world..I've tried to write about bigger, more important things, but i don't know enough about those and I prefer to write about what I know, that's me and my loved ones...I enjoy playing these songs, and i like t think others can enjoy hearing them too. And hey, if you do like something, feel free to let me know! :-)
