I
originally began my writing career as a songwriter in 1974 while
working as a professional musician based out of Nevada County,
California. I always felt drawn to storytelling and much of my
songwriting reflected this by taking form as "story-songs,"
predominantly focused on lyric and melody. I worked as a professional
musician for 15 years, going through many genres and styles, from folk
to jazz to rock 'n' roll.
I recorded my first album, “Dancer,” in
1985.
I, now, perform my original music as well
as traditional folk, jazz standards and popular songs.
Check out some of my songs from the
"Dancer" album, also available for purchase on my
MySpace page.
Here is a sample song from my new album
entitled "Pearl of Moon"
