In The Midnight Hour Writing words…thinking thoughts…reading…listening…creating… in that time of night Wilson Pickett sang about: “In The Midnight Hour”. I’m not sure why some days give me a burst of creativity at this time of night and other days it happens shortly after I get out of bed. It really doesn’t matter because I’ll take it either way.

80’s Heart Throb
Old Singer Songwriter Files Have A Heart Throb Looking through my old files, and I found some of my own 80’s music that I recorded as demos but never took any further. I actually recorded a bunch of songs like this in hotel rooms, or bars, or even in trailers while I was on the road. So…not high quality, but fun to “look back … The rest of the story…
Wanna Hear This Singer Songwriter On Drugs? I know all musicians are supposed to be tortured souls who need to escape the confines and restrictions of this mortal, flawed world.

Pony Dreams
Down On The Singer Songwriter Ranch As some of you know…I’ve been working on a collection of lullaby songs I call “Bedtime Buckaroos”.

Stop Buggin’ Me
Hey…stop buggin’ me. No, not you…my brother who keeps pointing his finger at me saying, “I’m not touching you…I’m not touching you”.

Singer Songwriter's Pj's
I think most singer songwriters would agree that their favorite way to “get” a song is all at once. By that I mean, words and music come to you all at the same time.

The rest of the story...I’m An Optimist
“I’m An Optimist and a Realist”, but… …I prefer optimist. I see how bad things are. Politicians can’t figure out how to work within a budget. Murder is rampant.
