I appreciate all the comments/ratings/subs etc. That being said,1 view on one of my original songs means more to me than 1000 views on one of my covers. If you have a little spare time, check out some of my originals. All comments and ratings are welcome, good or bad.

If anyone would like to cover one of my originals or just read the lyrics, the lyrics/tabs can be found here:

F.A.Q/F.Y.I

Are you oriental? No

What other instruments do you play other than guitar? Mandolin, Piano, Banjo, Harmonica and Bass. I've tinkered and dabbled with a lot of different instruments . I've mastered the triangle and I'm fairly proficient at the kazoo. Other than that, I'm an amateur musician at best.

Do you have any cd's or music to sell? Not as of now. I don't use MySpace, and I haven't made any cd's recently. The ones I have made are so old and what's the word???? bad, I'm embarrassed by them.

How do you record your videos; What equipment/software do you use? First off, you may have noticed my videos are a little rough around the edges. Some of the songs I recorded the same day I learned to play them. Also, I don't have the patience to do take after take to perfect a song. If I make it to the end of the song with out some sort of cataclysmic catastrophe, I clip it and upload it. The equipment/software I use are as follows: Fostex MR-8 digital multitracker, A V-Tech dynamic Mic; Adobe Audition and Ulead video studio.

Do you play in a band or do gigs? No, I would like to though.
