Samples

All MP3's were recorded on a Fender DG-6 acoustic guitar using Audacity with an IBM ThinkPad T41 laptop built-in mic.   I sing and play all songs.   I am currently re-recording several songs, so please check back.

You can also see me play some songs on YouTube.
I will add more as time allows.

Music Background

I have been involved in some kind of music since elementary school.  I took piano lessons through third grade, when I switched to trombone.  In fifth grade, I auditioned for the Florida's Singing Sons Boychoir and toured South Florida and the Bahamas with them for two years.  In ninth grade, I briefly took up the guitar.  High school sports kept me busy and it slipped away, but I continued to sing in church choir and school musicals, and was invited to join Advanced Chorus in school.  I continued doing musical theater in college and even took voice lessons.  Several years later, I sang with a traveling group call Se'lah in the Tallahassee, Florida area for a year before a job change forced us to relocate.

In July 2005, my in-laws worked some magic and I was lucky enough to spend a weekend Steven Tyler with some great musicians as they jammed and practiced together for the Celebration of the Sea Music & Film Festival.  How great, you ask?  Well, you tell me.  Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Barry Goudreau & Fran Sheehan of Boston, Skunk Baxter of Steely Dan & The Doobie Brothers, Darryl McDaniels of Run DMC, super model turned musician Sabrina Barnett, Mike Mangini the world's fastest drummer, Johhny A & his lovely wife Beth, Bryan O'Neal of the Bus Boys, and David Feder.  They were all great people who didn't hesitate to talk about anything I wanted.  My babiesLater, I ran into Steven and he remembered me.  How cool is it to be recognized by a rock legend?  After that, I knew that I had to get back into music. I started teaching myself guitar and eventually joined a praise band called Opening Act as guitarist and vocalist.  When our illustrious leader leader left, his job fell to me.  About a year later I left the band and plan to start sitting in with a group of very talented people at Friend Church oin the next few weeks.
