"The Future's Uncertain and the End is Always Near - Jim Morrison"

BIOGRAPHY

I always fill these bios out with a smart-ass jokey type thing but maybe I should try and present myself a little more seriously here since this strikes me as a far more professional site than most.

I'm a native New Orleanian and I was hooked on music from the moment I heard the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. Their music continues to be a guidepost to what is possible in music.

I was a full time musician during the 1975 - 1981 period in the New Orleans area. Gave it up to get married and raise my sons. Three years ago the desire that never left flamed up and I began home recording my songs.

So my goal is to possibly get a contract to perform my music or to provide music to other working artists who need fresh material. My influences range from the Beatles, The Who to Warren Zevon, Jackson Browne, The Eagles, Freedy Johnston, The Old 97's, The Derailers to just about everything out there.

So - maybe you'd prefer the snarky bio I usually provide, huh?
