Lost in Your Eyes

Consider this an aural scrapbook of musical memories.  It's imperfect, as life is imperfect.  It's not readily categorized.  If pressed, I would consider myself an urbanized folksinger who borrows from a wide range of genres.  Over the years, I built up an extensive repertoire of personal favorites, rearranged to accommodate my own rhythmic and stylistic idiosyncrasies, augmented by a few self-penned tunes.

Enjoy!
