“Eventually” is my first CD, and as such many of the songs on it are reflective of life‘s journey.  After a career in teaching, I went back to my first love: writing lyrics and playing for live audiences, and “Eventually” was the culmination of these efforts.  Songs like “Just Along for the Ride”  embody the spirit of taking each day one at a time and the enjoyment of every little thing. The song “Eventually” is what it says:  someone who spent his life doing what he should, but finally getting an opportunity to do what he wants. “Electric Blue” is simply a metaphor for love, and its effect on one individual and his life. “Just Because of You” was written because without the other part of me, I wouldn’t exist. The song "1966" actually chronicles the mid-sixties in Spokane, WA when, in my youth, we would “tool Riverside”, the main drag in SpokaneWA; and like all kids my age, go looking for adventure. The other songs are composites of feeling and emotions that I have experienced over the years. I believe the songs speak for themselves, and I hope you find something you like.

In my second CD, "The Road Up Ahead", I have written several songs that have made an emotional impact on me. Tribute to Rick Nelson (He Was Once a Teenage Idol) is a song I wrote having seen Rick in concert only a few short months before his untimely death. The Ballad of Sarah Ballou was based on a Civil War letter from Major Sullivan Ballou the night before his death at the Battle of Bull Run. His body was never found. Annie McCarrick was written in one night after I saw a rerun of a 20/20 episode concerning her disappearance and death in Ireland in 1993. The other songs are compilations concerning the life experiences that we all have had at one time or another: from the daily struggle in There'll Be a Better Day to the lifetime commitment of I'll Always be There. I hope that you will find something you enjoy.
