Songwriting

Through the years, it has been my privilege and pleasure to write several songs. Some are drawn from personal experience, others are based solely on subject research. A few songs are the result of collaboration with other gifted songwriters. I am grateful for the opportunity to share my music with you across the world wide web.

Here, you will discover songs in the genres' of Country, Bluegrass, Folk and Gospel. These simple guitar/vocal demos were recorded at my home studio with minimal production. While the best sonic quality may always be experienced through the use of high-fidelity links, I have opted to include low fidelity auto-streaming audio clips for the convenience of those who use dial-up Internet access. When you click on the song title, the music should automatically begin to play after a brief pre-download delay.

It is my hope that you will find a tune or lyric here that you enjoy. All are copyrighted works, and available for publishing. I am a member of ASCAP, the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers. If you care to comment on any aspect of my music, please feel free to contact me using the link on left.
