The Promise

88 - Fly Away

Cover
You started Laughing - Supertramp - Rick Davies -1975

When you're in heaven what you gonna do?
You're gonna sit around a cloud and say
"Hey what a lovely view"

Is there a reason why you're like you are?
Is there a reason you'll be leaving?
Is my love out of season?
I wouldn't mind but to me that is treason

You started laughing
When I held you in my arms
You started leaving
When I told you of my charms

I was in love with you
And then you said we're through
And then I said boo hoo

Was my tie not on straight?
Was it something I ate?

You Started Laughing

This is the very first song I ever recorded using my then new home recording setup in 1999. The first! I bought all the gear at a Musician's Friend south of Denver, brought it home, opened the boxes and started having so much fun that I think my friends didn't see me for the next couple of years. It's a DADGAD guitar tuning I used to jam on and very Leo Kottke sounding. One of my guitar heroes, he is. This was recorded on a Yamaha MP3 minidisc eight track recorder (Yamaha MD8). The drums and cowbell are a Boss DR 770 "Dr Rhythm Drum Machine". It ain't perfect. It's MP3 tracks and the mics were just set anywhere in the corner of my living room and yada. No excuses. It's a fun little ditty. 

Tickle Me Shiva

Contemplative Christian music with a Scottish influence..

When the Tables Turn

AUTUMN ROSE

I Can't Sing That!

This is an old tune that I updated to a completely different genre and many thanks to Dmitry Taraban for the beautiful piano playing which holds the piece together. 


Cupid's Arrow

Baby, did you see me crying all alone?
Sick and tired of the fighting for a love that died
Satisfied
Now you broke my heart
You left me when I was down
I should have realized they were tear drops in your eyes

Baby, did you want to leave me all alone?
All you do is cry
Now you left me on my own
Can't believe that you'd leave me here
I guess it goes to show that when the heartache's gone
It means a lover's have to go

But I was too late
It's too late to save you
And satisfy you
The love I gave you died
But I was too late
Cupid's arrow lied to me
I was too late, baby, can't you see?

But I was too late
It's too late to save you
And satisfy you
The love I gave you died
But I was too late
Cupid's arrow lied to me
I was too late, baby, can't you see?

Hello, I'm a versatile artist with a deep passion for creative expression through music and design. Over the years, I've honed my skills in several artistic domains, allowing me to craft a unique blend of talents that define who I am.

Music is My Muse:
I've spent countless years immersed in the world of music, evolving from a listener into a multifaceted creator. As a singer and songwriter, I use music to channel my thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Every song I write is a piece of my soul, an exploration of human nature, relationships, and the world around us.

Sound Sorcerer:
Beyond lyrics and melodies, I'm a proficient production and mixing engineer. I wield technology to sculpt sonic landscapes that resonate with my audience. Whether it's crafting the perfect beat, layering harmonies, or fine-tuning the mix, I take pride in delivering music that's not just heard but felt.

Visual Alchemist:
My creativity extends beyond music. As a graphic designer, I transform ideas into captivating visuals. My designs are an artful fusion of aesthetics and functionality, telling stories and conveying messages that leave a lasting impact.

Inspiration Everywhere:
I find inspiration in the unlikeliest of places – from the subtle cadence of a heartbeat to the texture of an everyday object. I draw from the rich tapestry of human nature and the intricate web of relationships that connect us all.

Join me on this journey of artistic exploration, where I aim to create, inspire, and connect through the universal languages of music and design.

If you're seeking a collaborator, looking for design that speaks volumes, or simply want to chat about the creative process, I'm just a message away. Let's make something beautiful together!
