I'm looking for people to jam with, and possibly to gig with, if the chemistry is right. I love to rock, but I also love to play acoustic/folk and R&B, so I'm flexible. Given the choice, I'd play with a group like Zep that could do light and shade. Whatever we can play with energy and committment is what I like!

MUSIC

You'll Be With Me
You'll Be With Me Track number: 1 Year: 2001 Genre: Christian Contemporary
A song I wrote at the time I was falling in love with my wife, written subconciously for her, I think.

Lights In The Night
Lights In The Night Track number: 2 Year: 1999 Genre: Christian Contemporary
What was meant to be a "campfire" type song ended up being "produced". I loved the way the music came out, but the lyrics seem more tribal and earthy.

Brothers In The Sky
Brothers In The Sky Track number: 3 Year: 1993 Genre: Christian Contemporary
The apostle Paul encourages us to look to his example. This song is dedicated to the saints that have gone before us. Not perfect like Christ, but Godly still. ...and then there's my Salvation Army band tamborine ( my apologies to the Salvation Army.

Perfect Peace
Perfect Peace Track number: 4 Year: 1993 Genre: Christian Contemporary
This was written at a time when I was struggling with some great sin in my life. The harmony was provided by my friend Erica "Plunge" Nelson. My arrangement doesn't necessarily do her voice/style justice.
