BIOGRAPHY
Over my life time (and I'm old), I've played out a few times, and people seemed to enjoy my music. I've also done some busking in Knoxville, Tennessee's "Old City", and I always made money.
But I didn't enjoy it that much. What I really like is composing new songs and new acoustic guitar arrangements, that sound for all the world like they were born in the 20's, 30's or 40's, instead of here and now in my basement.
So I was content to be completely anonymous, until I discovered YouTube. There was a site where I could perform and cut up, and have a lot of fun. And so I've posted many videos there, most of which are original tunes, though I do play some classic blues covers from time to time. And from the number of views, likes and comments, it seems many like my stuff.
But my home recording "studio" lacks a lot of proper equipment, and I lack technical know-how. One problem I've never overcome is that these videos aren't stereophonic. Sound is from one speaker only.
So I've been going to a recording studio and re-recording everything I ever wrote, with special emphasis on my original tunes. Hope you like them.
And for you professional musicians out there, take a listen to my lyrics and arrangements. I'd love it if I've written something you'd like to play.
