Artist description
I am just an older man who has been an amateur
musician all of his life. Early retirement gave
me the opportunity to spend more time on my music.
My non-musical career has been very varied. In
my career as a research scientist, I wrote about
100 scientific articles and reports. I was a
member of the team that designed the crew station
for the Gemini spacecraft. In this function, I
conducted the simulation studies that defined the
engineering crew station requirements necessary to
dock a spacecraft in orbit. In the course of this
study and in other engineering associations, I
was able to meet all seven of the original
astronauts. My greatest weakness is probably
that I am interested in too many different fields.
I have designed psychological tests, developed
computer programs to determine probably
nutritional deficiencies based upon symptoms,
conducted the testing necessary to define the best
use of the M-16 rifle and the squad radio in the
Viet Nam War, and defined the control requirements
necessary for the remote operation of a
reconnaissance aircraft. People who have listened
to both of my current CDs tell me that my music
relaxes them. I also believe the classic works of
Shakespeare and others can be enjoyed by many
more people than currently appreciate them. And,
I believe that the presentation of these works
against background music will greatly increase
the effect of the recitation of these works. |

Music Style
If you are forced to select a musical style, you might call mine contemporary Christian classical. The content is almost all Christian. The general format, harmony and use of instruments are classical. However, this is a description, not a restriction. I do not restrict my music to any style. |

Similar Artists
Frankly, I don't know of anyone that I sound like, either in the music that I write and perform, or in the poems that I recite. |
 |
Instruments
First, I am a singer, but as a composer, I generally prefer orchestrations to solo accompaniment instruments such as the piano and organ. Among the instruments available in the orchestra, I must admit that I use the oboe, cello, violin, bassoon and harp a great deal. |
 |
Albums
I have two albums currently available. In "A Tree, Tall and Strong" each original Christian song is preceded by an explanation set against original background music. "Poetry In Motion" is a set of poetic readings all against original background music. |
