Story

I am a singer songwriter guitarist who`s head is still in the 70`s , the era of fabulous pop music , unforgettable melodies and music that was fun to listen to . I hope that this major influence shines through in my style of writing . I love music , but it has to get my feet stomping , my hands clapping and my head a shaking .
