Hi.  I wanted an internet place to feature the four record albums I have made and published.  These albums are available for download on CD Baby (www.cdbaby.com) and a number of other download services, including iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and others.  I am proud of the work on these recordings so I wanted to make my own promotional website for them.  I've updated the Album page, which now is nifty-wifty new widget from CD Baby that offers my stuff here on the site, but links to CD Baby so they take care of the sales and accounting.  All I have to do now is write and record the stuff, and they kindly take care of the rest of it.  To access the click on the tab entitled "Buy Music Here."

I suppose I could tell the public that I and my recordings are the greatest thing since sliced bread, and that I am a haunted but heartfelt genius.  Don't believe everything you read.  I can say truthfully, though, that my stuff is worth a listen, and if you like what you hear, it would be great if you put your money where your ears are and buy one or all of the albums.  In case you are as broke as a lot of people are right now, you could also download just one or any number of songs you like and buy those.   I've done the three first albums and songs as download-only, but "Pocket Mass" is in CD and download formats.  If you hit the "Buy Songs or Albums Here" tab at the top of this page, it will take you to a page on which there are pix of the albums and sound files of the songs from each album in the display with the picture.  There are download links next to each song.  CD Baby takes care of the business details.  

I worked as a singer and songwriter for more than a decade and a half and then stopped performing professionally for a number of reasons, some neurotic, some merely practical.  I sang with or behind a wide range of interesting stars, some of them pretty well-known.  The list of people I recorded with includes John Prine, Steve Goodman, Michael Smith, Chubby Checker, and a really weird guy named Greensleeves.  I shared club bills with Hall & Oates, The Mamas & the Papas, Little Anthony and the Imperials, Jerry Jeff Walker, and numerous others.  I couldn't give up writing and composing,  so I have continued making songs and compositions.  These albums represent personal work I did over a time range of more than 35 years.  The style differences reflect my taste at the time the material was recorded.   "Pocket Mass and Other Faith Based Music" is the most recent of my albums and is the result of a two-year project composing a mass for choir and a few instruments and getting it financed, recorded and released.  There is a Pocket Mass video on the video page, and I have a direct links page, entitled "Pocket Mass" with the video and CD Link. 

I can be reached as a writer, composer and publisher through ASCAP.  The name of the publishing company is Wobba Wobba Music.

There is a blog page which I occasionally update with my trivia of the moment and a place to leave comments.  Someday when I get around to it, I will add a photography page. As the witch said in "Oz,"  'These things take time and must be handled delicately.'

Thank you for reading and listening.
