Songwriter, singer, I play harmonica, and guitar (badly). Writing songs does something for me that nothing else does, and I need it to feel complete in myself. Sometimes I just like the challenge of building something from an lyrical idea, or a chord progression or melody, occasionally it just falls out in one go words and melody all together like it was already there and I just channeled it. I have broad musical tastes, I write songs in many styles. I've been in a few bands over the years. I like to work with other musicians to write and record as the whole always ends up greater than the sum of its parts.
Music gives meaning to my life
To write a truly great song
Equality of wealth and opportunity
Got to Get You Into My life
Elvis Costello & the Attractions
It makes me whole
Give love
Scared and fulfilled
Not respected or paid enough
Pretty cool
Lack of competence
I do what I can
Persistence
