RPM 09
Currently working on the RPM 09 album. Tentatively titled "Keeper Of Secrets", it should have ten to twelve songs, and will be posted here for download when the album is complete and the challenge is over.
I haven't been as active on this site as I'd like because the …

New Album
It's been awhile since I wrote anything on this site, so it's high time I did.
Uploaded is the new album from the RPM 08 Challenge. Entitled "Waitin' On The Mail", it is a 10 song collection of my experiences over the past three to four years. I spent an extended …

I have a complaint
In case you didn't know it, Virb.com limits artists to posting 30 songs maximum on their sites. I discovered this when I went to upload a new album. I would like to continue uploading new music to this site, but I guess the folks at virb don't want me to.
SOOOOO, for …

Album complete
I have finished uploading all the songs worth hearing for My Corner Of This Life. There are 12 in the original album, but I don't feel comfortable uploading the remaining 3 because, frankly, they're not very good. My motto has always been: do your best, and try to …

Two More
I finally got around to converting two more songs from the album My Corner Of This Life into mp3 files. The songs are: Who Are You, and Face The Storm Alone. Please give them a listen and let me know what you think.
Thanks for stopping by.

New Songs Uploaded
Yes, I know, I told you months ago I'd upload some new material, and I finally got around to it. Family has a way of taking up all of your time, and my family, and life, has been stealing all my time recently. I won't go into the particulars, but you know all about …

Coming Soon
I plan to post another CD's worth of songs soon, and one in particular, titled "When You're Gone", is a song I've been trying to find a female vocalist for. I wrote the song for my wife, and tried to see her point of view. The full title is "I Don't Like It When …

Questions for you
I have noticed that there are primarily musicians who have pages on this site. Granted, the site is dedicated to music, but how does a musician on this site attract the attention of a non-musician? I mean, I have enjoyed the friendships I have gained on this site, and …

Surfing the site, so to speak
I've been browsing through the site, doing various searches, and have some across some good music outside of my RPM friends. I must say I've noticed that I've been looking at female artists lately. Don't know if that's just a musical preference or there is something …

New (for me) idea
Don't know how many of my friends have experienced this, but let me give you a clue as to a new idea I've had recently:
I married a woman who has a very nice soprano voice. She's been singing in choral groups since high school, and is currently part of our church …

From home this time
It's Saturday afternoon, and it's just too doggone cold to do yardwork, and I'm trying to figure out the bills without going insane or broke or both. I'd like to say THANK YOU to all the artists who have linked up with me as friends. I'm listening to the jukebox on …

People tell me . . .
. . . that they like my music, or don't like it, or like my vocals, or don't like my vocals, or give me constructive feedback, or give me no feedback at all. Each listener seems to react differently to my music. That's life.
That's also the democracy of the web, as …

New songs uploaded
I have uploaded the rest of my second CD, Just Fine, and they are available for listen and/or download. These songs were all written during a time of extended separation from my wife, Martha, and are all about her, and our relationship, and how I felt being away for so …

My Muse Is Awake!
Since participating in the RPM Challenge, my songwriting "muse" has awakened, and she's bugging me to write again. I refer to my muse as "her" because I am inspired by my relationships with women, and particularly with my wife, and it just feels right to refer to my …

Good morning
This is my first blog posting to this website, so forgive me if I seem a little nervous. I promise not to giggle.
As you can probably tell, I am new to this blogging thing, but I've decided to take the plunge and let others listen to my ramblings and moaning …
