I have been singing and making songs up ever since I can remember.
For years I mostly sang when someone was around to accompany me or in Karaoke bars.
Years ago, around 1998, I had an opportunity to go into a studio for free. I did not have any songs to record, so I sit down and asked my higher power what to write about .
I wrote nine songs in the 90's about social justice, love and earth based songs .
Singing the melody line to a friend Gary Steelman, he helped me figure out the chord progression and arrangements.
I have tried to play guitar since I was 15 and just couldn’t get the rhythm down in my hands . I finally learned how to play rhythm guitar at age 61 where I could perform my own music alone.
I revisited my recorded music and put it online. Those songs I did in the studio with a full band . They’re now on the Internet: on YouTube as Videos, as well as on Spotify and Apple Music . You can also buy my music to support me on website Bandcamp.
Since then, I have written a new song with the guitar riffs all my own. I published the new song called Succubus this year. It’s about female covert narcissists. That video is also up on YouTube and Spotify, etc. I wasn’t meaning for it to be, but it turned out to be a great Halloween song.
I am looking forward in the future to be writing lot more songs -environmental music, earth based songs and getting them out into the world.
I just started performing at venues last summer with two festivals; one in Ohio and one in my home state of Washington.
I am hoping if all goes right, to be playing at the Tonasket Barter Fair in Washington in the spring.
May your life be blessed,
Blessed Be.
