Discography

My first CD, titled "El Sanora Blues" is a 7 song EP and can be listened to online at my myspace page - http://www.myspace.com/bahbeaux . My second CD, also a 7 song EP, is titled "Half Of What You See", is currently being recorded. I have a couple of songs from that CD on my myspace page also. Both CD's are an acoustic setting with one vocal. I am also beginning work on what will be a full band CD, to be completed by the end of 2008

Bio

Writing songs, for me, is a passion. Don Henley, when introducing the tune Heart of the Matter, said “this song took 42 years to write and 5 minutes to sing”. I find this so incredible, for I have found that when you begin writing a song, you are stuck with that emotion and or feeling until the song is finished. Either jubilant, or on the verge of tears, I carry it with me until it’s done. When I get an idea for a song, generally a piece of a chorus or verse, I write it down, and if the song comes, I go with it. If it doesn’t, I put it on a shelve, as it were, until it flows naturally. My trip through life has been very colorful, and most of the material I write, is based upon things I’ve experienced. Witnessing missile shots at dawn, the serenity of a full moon over the Gulf of Mexico, being on the road in a heavy metal rock and roll band, to raising my teenage daughter… life has been very interesting and makes for good lyrics. In the past, I’ve done some recording in a full band setting, though I record one piece (guitar and vocals) presently. My influences, well thats hard to nail down to just a few. The diversity of Led Zepplin, the acoustic work of Eric Clapton, the blues of Ray Charles, and country of Willie Nelson are some of my influences. I grew up and have lived on the gulf coast all my life, so there is a touch of the island sound in there somewhere too!
