*I started writing music because I wanted to be The Beatles. I have a wide variety of musical interests and influences. Everything from Tom Petty, the Bee Gees, Queen, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, John Denver to Fred Astaire and everything in between.

*My dream would be me in the studio having just finished recording a vocal when Jeff Lynne smiles and pipes in, "That's it."

*My goal is to make music for the sake of making music. I guess I'm old school, I like real music and real songs.
