       Enjoy playing and singing love songs, upbeat positive songs and fun or funny songs. Play mostly on guitar, violin is coming on but ". . not quite ready for prime time."
        Read and have a large music library (choirs and church bands in past). Spend most of time on secular these days. A lot of David Francey's songs are good examples of stuff I like.


Classical to folk and all points in between! Songwriting for and about life, cello compositions to soothe your soul. . .music is life! With cello or guitar and voice it is all music from the heart, music for the soul.

Playlists for various projects.

Well, they changed the site, no longer Classic soundcloud and it's hard to find others latest songs with dang reposts-also hardly anyone can see my new uploads and it sure shows with less song listens, and this will be the last time I give them a dime so when subscription ends will remove a bunch of songs (or find another site) casera.....oh well, I live in rural Minnesota and have been grateful to the internet to connect up with others involved in music and also doing some internet collaborations with other artists I have met online on different sites.I love listening to others creative music in many genre's, and it motivates me to continue to create as a hobby and share with others too.
