Revitalizing take at modern electronic music with big beats, deep bass, dreamlike ambience, and enslaving rhythm provoking an invigorating angelic resonance.

I love soulful music with meaningful lyrics.

My debut album is in the making, with some epic singles waiting in the wings ...


Grew up during the folk movement of the 60's with a lot of people coming through our home with various instruments and the weekend music get-togethers.
Did a rock thing with several bands after high school until I was about 27. I have always had instruments around.
In 1981 I had a profound encounter with Jesus that has been an ongoing relationship and that is heart and center of my existence. 
So the music has a variety of influences but it's just stuff that I wake up with, or hear during the day or maybe something that my fingers "fall into" on the guitar...or begin with thoughts and words presenting themselves to me...
You know how it goes...
I made the guitar in the pic. It shows up here and there in the sounds.
I play a tiny little Martin 2-17 that I got off of ebay years ago as a parts guitar but rescued it and restored it, It has a remarkable recording voice and I find myself using it a lot. Every instrument that I own has been repaired, rebuilt, or modified by my hands. The classical that I have was a very inexpensive plywood top instrument that just happened to be the first guitar that I owned and was gifted to me by Bill Call who was a local musician with one of the richest voices and refined acoustic guitar technique that I've ever heard. In later years I re-topped the instrument and gave it an ebony fingerboard. Still not the finest nylon string but a far cry better than what it was before.
Hope you enjoy these offerings.  
Can't seem to separate my life from the music. So good, bad or indifferent; it doesn't really matter because I can't stop expressing sound and word...
Blessing to you..
