Bio
began writing music when I was thirteen (1970) although I had been playing guitar since I was eight years old, inspired by the British Invasion bands and other varied & rich musical influences of the mid-sixties. The first two albums I owned were Simon & Garfunkel's Parsley, Sage,Rosemary & Thyme and Bookends. I didn't actually own them, they were my sister's. I merely appropriated them and then, I played the grooves out of them! (I still have them)
I started out thinking of myself as a singer/songwriter, envisioning myself as possibly another Neil Diamond. (His Love at the Greek special mezmerized me) But,eventually, I put those dreams aside and continued to compose music to be performed by others.
Stylistically, I lean toward the romantic ballad, with a touch of longing thrown in. If Clive Davis, who discovered many of Barry Manilow's hits were still looking for music (IS HE?), he might be inclined to give my songs a listen.
I continue to collaborate on new tunes with Bay Area Musician Denis D'Aoust and others.
