Music is a huge part of my life. I am a full-time musician. All aspects of it give me a great feeling inside, whether I'm writing, recording, teaching, mixing, playing guitar, singing my brains out, or last but definetly not least, going to the music store (I would be rich if I could get past that last one) lo!
I've been blessed to play with the people and bands that have let me in over the years. Each of these I have played with for over 5 years: Vicious Nature, Divine Right, Petra, The Schmooze.
I am currently a music director at a church (ERCC) in upstate NY. A goal of mine here at shoutlife is to meet other music leaders and exchange ideas and original songs to keep things fresh and new.
The songs you see in the above collection(s) are ones that I have recorded in my home studio. They are all demo quality. Most I even played all the instruments. I've co-written some of them with friends. My wife writes a lot of the lyrics. They are All Over The Map, meaning, some are rock, some country, some worship, etc... ...I just write what comes out, or what I am told to write :o) A lot of the songs were written for specific for artists so I could pitch them, noOne caught as of yet. I am not trying to be an artist anymore. I like being home with family and friends. That lifestyle is fun, but insane!
Now I spend my spare time writing. Someday I want to write that one great song ...just like "Amazing Grace!" Sounds easy enought, eh? lol
