i have been playing guitar since i could pick one up...been in bands from south florida to north carolina and DC and even more places hither and yon, then i decided to do some recording of material i had written and recorded my first Cd "if the shoe fits" of course i ended up working with the same musicians i played with over the years...(go figure)... i enjoy all types of music, whatever the genre...i pay close attention to lyrics...(please if you play any of my material also click on the lyrics/story tab...it's important to me that the lyrics be read) although i tossed a few quickies out like 'i musta' been drinkin' and 'stuck in mississippi' which aren't the greatest lyrics in town check out: 'if the shoe fit's', 'carolsong', 'cassidy'... to me the music may be the soul but the lyrics are the heart...you can't have one without the other...artists should not just push buttons... if you want to be considered a musician learn how to play an instrument with soul...if you want to be considered a lyricist, write from your heart... then you can create heart and soul whenever you need to...and with that push all the buttons you want... =z=
