    Bad Ideas>Good Ideas

    Everybody is quick to point out a bad idea. It’s fairly easy to assimilate why something is not working. However, as a creator, the bad ideas are inevitable. I’ll go as far as saying they are necessary. Every “bad” idea when writing music is really just a stepping stone to the good idea. By itself,…

    New single, “Crystal” out everywhere on August 6, 2024

    I’m so relieved to finally put out this tune. It’s been a labor of love for 3 years?? I’m really not sure – a long time. The core foundation of the song never changed, it was the arrangement I couldn’t get right. So, here it is have a listen! Hope you like it. You can…

    An old friend from the Southside started an entertainment agency a few years back. He was packing clubs in Wisconsin doing “Idol-like” events and finding some great young talent.

    I wrote this song about 10 years ago. I tend to write songs and then there’s something about it that isn’t fitting, so I put it on the shelf. I was about to re-shelve this one until I found a great acoustic drum beat that fit the song perfectly. ~Available everywhere on 7/2/21~ I’m on…

    In January 2020, I wrote this new song with the working title ‘Confusion.’ Obviously, I had no idea how the year would play out and this song would turn out to be very relevant. I guess you could call it my “2020 song.” Today, I’m excited to officially release the song to the world. Some…

    My computer kept stopping with a “system overload” error as I was trying to record the acoustic guitar part.  My Macbook Pro is old but mighty (for a while longer I hope!). I changed some parameters and finished the track. Then, listened back. Horrible. “This sucks, @#$%! it” and I closed Logic (recording software).  Then…

    Here’s a song about growing older and stopping to take in the scenery. This is the second song in the quarantine sessions series where I just use my iPhone voice memo to record a single take. Here’s a link to Distrokid (my distributor) and they have links to all the digital services.

Just me+guitar+iPhone. First song to be released is a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers song – “American Girl.” Here’s the link for…
