About Me



Well, I wrote some songs. and then a couple of months ago i got this really cool music editor which for the first time in my life has allowed me to arrange and produce my own music. so here I go right? wrong. you need a friggin' masters degree in computer technology to figure this stuff out. but figure it out I did, and after many painstaking hours and days and weeks, i finally chunked out my first song. now, about 8 months and a dozen songs later (I do have a day job, although, I would happily do this ALL DAY!!!) I think I have finally put together 4 decent songs.

For those of you that have traveled with me this entire way, thank you for your support, even when the music sucked!!! And for my new friends, forgive the weaknesses the poor vocal lines, the bad judgment as to any given part, or the WAY over use of horns (I just can't get enough of the horns you see) and take my music for what it is, good songs, produced on crappy soft ware, but with a lot of heart, a lot of love and an eye to keep improving.

I like your comments. I like knowing you are there. I like knowing you WILL be there maybe later. I like hearing what you do and relating, and knowing you are doing the same with my music. what a beautiful and brilliant community of people we are...

for those of you who don't know who "the shortstop" is in my Jackie Robinson song, and since he is a very important supporting character, here is a little snippit of information about him

Harold Henry "Pee Wee" Reese (July 23, 1918 - August 14, 1999) was an American professional baseball player who played for the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers from 1940 to 1958. He was a ten-time All Star who contributed to seven league championships for Brooklyn.

His most prestigious contribution to the sport was early support of the first black Major League Baseball player, Jackie Robinson. He refused to sign a petition that threatened a boycott if Robinson joined the team. When Robinson joined the Dodgers in 1947 and traveled with them during their first road trip, he was heckled by fans in Cincinnati, Ohio. Reese, the captain of the team, went over to Robinson and put his arm around his shoulder in a gesture of support which silenced the crowd. The gesture was especially telling because Reese was born and raised in then-segregated Louisville, Kentucky. Throughout that difficult first year in the major leagues, Reese helped keep Robinson's morale up amid all the abuse. Their rapport soon led shortstop Reese and second baseman Robinson to become one of the most effective defensive pairs in the sport's history. At Reese's funeral, Joe Black, another Major League Baseball black pioneer, said:"Pee Wee helped make my boyhood dream come true to play in the Majors, the World Series. When Pee Wee reached out to Jackie, all of us in the Negro League smiled and said it was the first time that a White guy had accepted us. When I finally got up to Brooklyn, I went to Pee Wee and said, 'Black people love you. When you touched Jackie, you touched all of us.' With Pee Wee, it was No. 1 on his uniform and No. 1 in our hearts." In 1984, Pee Wee Reese was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. In front of the main entrance into Louisville Slugger Field, stands a statue of Pee Wee Reese.
