Howdy and Welcome to my site. I'm a songwriter, poet, singer, guitar player. I don't know that I do any
of them exceptionally well but I do totally enjoy the processes.
I wrote my first 2 or 3 songs around 1973 or 1974 when
I was in the Navy stationed in Hawaii when I was 18 or 19. I probably wrote a few songs over the next several years but
the next songs I remember writing were when I was stationed in California around 1988. Though I had written a few songs,
songwriting was a challenge. Also, somewhere between 73 and 88 I had started messing with the guitar, still not much
good at it, but I get around the top of the neck) :)
In 1991 I was transferred to Diego Garcia and blossomed as a songwriter.
I'm not sure what it was, but I finally "got it" and songwriting became easy and over the next 2-3 years I wrote over 200 songs which
covered by time on Diego Garcia and my follow-on ship.
I pretty much stopped writing after tha period with a few exceptions writing
probably 2-3 songs a year until I discovered FAWM.ORG in 2008. During the month of Feb 08, I wrote 70 songs. Many of them
fluff but there were some pretty good songs there (if I do say so myself). This site is a way for my to showcase my past songs
and hopefully keep the fire growing that was rekindled during FAWM.ORG this year.
Thanks for stopping by.
