About Me |
|
| i'm drawn to songs that inspire or educate or question. i'm drawn to music with challenging lyrics. i play folk music, in the sense of "honest music played by ordinary folks." i disagree with the distinction drawn between "political songs" and "personal songs." Same thing. My songs tend more towards the anthemic than the emotional, but they are based in emotions – love, fear, and their expression through joy, anger, sadness, or delight. if you want a cd, send a friendly message to me here or at exequals@hotmail.com | |
