"Children Play" was the only I wrote on Guitar. The song was recorded by The Roosters back in the 80's whereby, I sang Lead vocals and played Drums/Percussion.

"Children Play"

Again, this was another one of my originals performed by The Roosters back in the 80's.

"Spend Your Life (with me)

Oh boy...what can I say about "Diamonds" This was only the 2nd song I'd ever written. At the time, my wife (the love of my life) decided to leave me. As such, I was extremely heart-broken and pretty much fell apart. The good news; however, was that the heart-break led me to the beginning of a talent I never knew I possessed, that of writing music. Being a Professional Drummer/Vocalist, it made me a much better overall Musician…I suppose all those early days of piano practice started to pay off.

"Diamonds"

Ok, let's lighten up...."Girl Next Door", another on of my originals was recorded purely as a party tune...Lots of performing/recording this tune (as I remember)?

"Girl Next Door"

When I wrote "Angel Eyes", it was my idea to put a sort of ska/calypso feel to it. After we (The Roosters) recorded the song, I always regretted not doing it over as it lost its groove in my opinion and should have been performed at a slower tempo. In those days; however, money was tight and you know how much $$$ it costs in the recording studio, thus we kept it as is…oh well, people still seem to like it!

"Angel Eyes"
