about

I started playing music in the Boston area in the early 1980"s. While I was a student at Berklee College of Music I started to expand my musical taste with the exciting arrival of punk and the new wave sound. Even though the music that was influencing me at that time did not require a lot of technical theory and music "know how", I related to the emotion and the new boundries that this new music brought to the forefront. Prior to that point I was influenced by the popular music of that time but when I first went to a "Buzzcock's show I realized that there was more to rock and roll than the rock and roll. As a result I feel that I always have been growing as a songwriter due to the fact that I have always felt that popular music of all genre's came from one place and that was the blues. When I heard the Stones...I heard the Blues. When I heard the Ramones ...I heard the Blues...When I heard any popular music I always hear the blues. And that is true to this day. I now realize that when I play my guitar and write music ..I am always hearing the Blues. I have a passion for writing music as an artist. I have always found that a good tune was always there from the start and all you have to do is pull it from the air and it becomes yours...How cool is that? I have been writing music since I was sixteen years old and now I have decided to pursue my passion. I am now writing and recording in my home studio and I feel like a painter with a canvas and some paint. "What feeling do
