Music Style Range of popular music styles. Most commonly medium rock. Some ballads are more laid-back, with classical arrangements featuring the piano. Have written five songs to date in triple (waltz) time. Some songs contain elements of swing, country, or heavy rock.

Musical Influences Bob Seger had significant influence on vocals, musical style and instrumentation, especially piano. Tom Waits has influenced on many elements (vocals, style, instrumentation, form) but only for a limited number of my songs. Have attempted classical arrangements in a select few. Randy Newman's tongue-in-cheek has influenced the lyrics on a few occasions and his piano style has also been an influence.
