    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.
