My Favs

A lost love and a man wandering through an old mansion with metaphoric dust and ashes of his relationship. A sad but beautiful song with a great video on YouTube

Dust & Ashes

If you're a fan of 1960s surf songs and movies, this song will bring back memories. It's Frankie and Annette material that will get your feet moving forward and your mind moving back in time...not always a bad thing. It's about a guy in love with a girl and he doesn't mind being out of his mind in his asylum for two. New surf music from the '60s now in the 21st century.

Surfin' Asylum for Two

This is a classic fantasy love story ala beauty and beast where the lion falls for the young beautiful maiden but she have to leave. Left alone, his life spirit fails so a snow white dove carries a message to the maiden relaying the power of his love. He begs her to return before he dies....a sad but beautiful song with the ending left to the listener... I wrote this song many years ago when my love left "to the east" so I sent it to tell her I wanted her to return ASAP. Spoiler: she did! I hope you enjoy it, it's borne from heartfelt real emotion. 

It's the Lion's Turn to Cry

It's the Livin' That Counts

The title and chorus say it all: "...regrets do no good if no lesson's understood..." Have a listen and send it to someone you love who may need such advice. Thanks.

Life's Regrets

Woman leaves man so he hits the dating scene with all the usual trappings. His goal is to find a new love, but he's stuck in an emotional rut and finds out that what he's really looking for is a copy of his lost love. Old story....

Runaround

Dreaming of a better world without starving children, without pointless violence and wars, without poverty, racism and hate. The list of the bad gets long very quickly. Most people are good and decent so why aren't we doing better? Hmmmm....

I Had a Dream

Man leaves woman after avowing forever love. He's a cad. She's sad. Her friends warned her. Listen to your friends. 

Full Moon Shining

Man loses his love and realizes too late that it was his fault. Now he's trying to win her back but she's found someone new. Touching country style ballad for romantics.

Didn't Know I'd Miss You So

Woman discovers she has missed a lot in life by chasing a career and money. Now she's slowing down with her fire and a glass of wine. She's a smart woman.

All Those Wants That Haunted

All Those Wants That Haunted (Dream Pop)

A lament about how hard many people work and still can't get ahead. One must suppose it's always been so, but one would also hope that life would be easier in the 21st Century. I Had a Dream!

Blue Collar Blue

MUSIC MADE IN CANADA: Music has been a large part of my life since my teen years when I started playing guitar. Used to play popular pop and country songs in bars, songs written by other artists but for past couple decades have focused entirely on writing and producing my own songs across a number of genres: pop, country, blues, and more recently dream pop and what I'm calling whiskey blues dream pop, a style that merges the two and that seems complimentary to my ear. I believe each style can sound good and give people pleasure: that's my goal in writing. Now I produce sounds featuring both male and female vocals as the lyrics dictate; variety is the spice of...well, you know. Thanks for listening.
