Hi! Thanks for stopping by my website

I am very excited about my new CD CHILL. On first review CD Baby writes it is “music you will love!” That is a great way to begin this new journey of promoting CHILL.

It takes more than just myself to put a CD like this together. Most of all I’d like thank Markham White at After Dark Designs for sharing his wonderful studio, time, energy and guitar talents with me. Secondly, my co-writers Grammy nominated Jimbeau Hinson and Jayne Olderman; and John Foster who writes for Charley Daniels publishing company. When I began the production of CHILL I wanted the entire CD to glide and give you an overall good feeling. Something you could put on in the background while you are socializing with friends or having dinner with someone special, yet if you put your head phones on or were riding in a car by yourself you would be touched by the story lines and heartfelt lyrics. When it came time to choose the musicians to record these twelve tunes I picked from the top shelf; Barry Thrasher, Joe Reda, Chuck Bithorn, Steve Cunningham, Chris Willis, Caroline Aiken, Donna Hopkins, Rich Iannucci, Brian Ashley Jones and Tom Grose.

Then came time for the artwork. Photographer Yvonne Boyd did an absolutely fabulous job and guitar player Liz Melendez is a hell of graphic artist. Also, thanks to Mary Sparks for years of writing my press releases and bio’s. So as you can see it is a process with twists and turns; decisions and delivering combinations of music, art, energy and personalities. I think you will enjoy the result.

In other news “There is a Light” from my CD Rhythm of Life was recorded by country artist David Messer. He received a great review from revered Nashville critic Robert Oerman in the Music Row Magazine.

Red Warrior records also released five songs that Jayne Olderman and I co-wrote
for the Yellow Umbrella organization, which benefits abused children. http://www.redwarriorrecords.com

I am happy to announce that the American Cancer Society is using “Whatever Makes Your
Soul Sing” for their nationally released DVD.

Ya’ll come back and visit now! Thanks so much to all of you for your love and support!!
