I have been writing music off and on for more than 25 years. Now I'd like to see if other people enjoy what I have done. Together with my lyricist, Micah Bennett, we try to write songs that can stand on their own. Our philosophy is that a song should draw the listener in with only 1 instrument and 1 vocal.

I like to write in various genres including rock, country, swing, and jazz. My background is piano (although I've never had formal training) and my primary influences are Elton John, Billy Joel and The Beatles. Secondary influences include '70s bands like Led Zepplin, The Rolling Stones, Boston and the Bee Gees.

I'm not the greatest singer in the world so I'll ask that you listen past the vocals. I want to write songs for other people to perform and I am interested in feedback, both positive and negative.
