About this time 6 years ago, while recovering from a surgery, I was diagnosed with an incurable form of Muscular Dystrophy called Charcot Marie Toothe - a condition that deteriorates the muscles in the hands and feet, and works its way up the body.  Though the doctors currently don't have a cure, I am looking to a Higher Doctor's report!  I like to do something every year to sort of kick the devil in the teeth!  This is my kick for this year - Different Point of View. I played all the piano, organ and synth keyboards (just to keep on doing it!)  All the other instruments, I programmed using PG Music's phenomenal Band In A Box RealTracks and RealDrums.  I hope you enjoy this!

Different Point Of View

I won’t go down easy
I'm gonna fight the fight
Not being greedy
I Just want what's right
You may think I'm crazy
I wouldn't take that bet
You may think my better days are through
But I've got a different point of view

A little grey around the temples works just fine
But if you think I'm done, that's where I draw the line
These bones may rattle to the beat of the songs I play
But make no mistake, these bones are here to stay

I won’t go down easy
I'm gonna fight the fight
Not being greedy
I Just want what's right
You may think I'm crazy
I wouldn't take that bet
You may think my better days are through
But I've got a different point of view

It's been a long time since I played my first guitar
Three chords and a prayer got me off to a pretty good start
Those piano keys, they still feel good to me
Give me a few more bars, and you'll be dancing in the street

I won’t go down easy
I'm gonna fight the fight
Not being greedy
I Just want what's right
You may think I'm crazy
I wouldn't take that bet
You may think my better days are through
But I've got a different point of view

Different Point Of View

Having fun creating tracks in Pop, Rock, Blues, Electronic, Trance and Vocal styles . You will find a mix of styles and sounds for many tastes, throwback as well as modern. I always fall for a catchy groove or a funky beat!

Selected tracks are available for download.

Open to collab - I would love to swap some grooves with folks.
