Artist History I spent many years believing I had nothing to offer. I am slowly getting over that. 15 years were spent building musical instruments for such people as Daryl Hall, Members of Stevie Wonder, The Pointer Sisters and many others. I then started composing music - first for commercials ( Subaru, Chrysler, Motorolla, Caterpillar, John Deer, etc ). I then released an album that was fortunate enough to achieve TOP FIVE status for New Age or Instrumental music in 1990. Then came a label deal. because I am so financially "hip" I soon left the label to reach for freedom, and far fewer album sales. I now have five albums, each focusing on musical genres such as NEW AGE, WORLD FUSION, ACOUSTIC FINGERSTYLE GUITAR, and snippits of JAZZ. I also have two album by my friend Dave who is the Trumpet Soloist/arranger for RAY CHARLES. I want to explore combing music and my poetry.
