I hope everyone is well and staying positive in these difficult and unsure times!  I hope this brings a little bit of joy to your day.

You Don’t Want Me To Stay 

I took the long way to get here
I traveled up the coast
You have a strange way to sense fear
My face is like a ghost
My eyes are gazing past you
To where the wind might hark
The sun is crashing into
The enigmatic dark

It’s what I’ve seen Its what I know
I parked my car along the road
I raced to spy, I hurried so
Around the site a crowd had grown
I saw her eyes, a woman died
Her scattered things lay at her side
When I get home and end my day
I pour a drink, you turn away
You don’t want me to stay

I heard a sad, soft whisper
Quiver in the wind
The rains filled up the cisterns
As I confessed my sins
My life has faded into
A version of myself
I saw the changes in you
And where the blame had fell

It’ s what I’ve seen Its what I’ve heard
I took a walk, it took a turn
I met a man I’m sure I owe
He chased me down a cobble road
I lost my way, the sky got black
I feel regret as I look back
I touch your arms and kiss your neck
You pull away, my heart is vexed
You don’t me to stay

You Don't Want Me To Stay

Thank you for listening!

I try to write with rich lyrical details and self-deprecating humor about the human condition. Plus, that unique Shade Structure sound!  It sounds best with headphones. Thanks for any comments, reposts or likes.

NO MESSAGES ABOUT PROMOTIONS PLEASE!!!

Independent artist, writer, producer


I started playing gigs in 1968,  I believe I was in the eight grade. It was only junior high school dances but at the time, it was electrifying. In 1964, I remember watching "The Ed Sullivan Show" and seeing the Beatles perform live and they pretty much jump started my interest in music, Long hair, guitars and Beatle boots, very cool, still cool. I have always enjoyed good harmony parts and George's slide work has always inspired me. Over the years like so many others, I’ve played concerts, night clubs, special events, coffee houses, bars and such. Also toured the U.S. in 76. Now it's all about writing, recording, having some fun and being a part of the Sound Cloud community. Yeah man! 
Debut Album called “ Seafoam” released 2018 at Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby.


Some of my fav producers would be Gary Katz, Jeff Lynne, Sir George Martin, Eddie Kramer and Mark Hudson. As far as guitar players, great hooks from Keith Richards, best tone Eric Clapton, best feel SRV! Best slide guitar George Harrison, Sonny Landreth, Derek Trucks and Ry Cooder. Most creative exploration Eric Johnson. The most original and always inspiring the GOAT Mr. Jeff Beck, he is amazing. Walter Becker had the cool factor and the Mu chords as well as wrote such interesting lyrics.

Welcome to my page.

I appreciate all the comments, likes and repost that you leave me in my compositions.

I make music for fun and to get away. I have multiple styles, although my biggest influence is in electronic music.

I am self taught and learned with Music Studio 2 on a first generation ipad 11 years ago. I have never composed before. Perform more than 80 songs a year for the first 6-7 years to learn about the program and develop creativity to compose. I have listened to different types of music throughout my life and maybe that has helped me.

I still compose only with an ipad (last generation), but I no longer work only with native MS2 instruments since I have expanded my instrument library with programs such as Audiokit, Digital D1, kv331, Sunrizer, etc ...

My music can be downloaded, but not used for commercial purposes (my authorization is required).

During the last two years I have encouraged myself to collaborate with professional or self-taught musicians like me. Are these:

Annie Smart

Dan DT

Loue ghazi

Lukowig

Mirjam Keijnemans

Nathalie B20

Subzero

Vicent

Winkanwoo

Wypernet

Thanks to them for their generous timeshare and patience.

You can contact me by sending me a message through SC.
