ABOUT
ORIGINAL music lyricist and multi-instrumentalist.
Writing, recording, Web/video performance, studio work, music-venue gigging, and promotion of the Oxford comma.
NOT interested in public non-paying gigs, particularly where patrons are apt to yell: “FREE BIRD!” (As much as I like the song, if THAT'S the song you want to hear, please use your iPod...or 8-track.) Legitimate charity work is fine.
"It's only right that (we) should play the way (we) feel it."
