Songwriter specializing in modern rock, country, easy listening and pop music.
I'm a songwriter with a wide variety of influences. I am currently seeking a publisher for one or more of my songs. Though I focus on commercially viable Country/Rock and Adult Contemporary, my wide range of infuences ensures that on any given CD of my work, there's something for all tastes in music.

Lyrics
"Saint Elmo's Fire" Capers Simmons VERSE I On the far side of Finnegan's Harbor There's a pub where the old sailors go Washed ashore like unwanted cargo Jetsam of a maiden who needs them no more RISE I They sing their shanties and they drink their rum Run out of money, and you're out on your bum CHORUS So sing to the tune of the bandoneon while you can REFRAIN VERSE II On the north side of Anchorman's Sound There's a place the old sea-wives call home There they gossip and curse solid ground And pine for the husbands who hated the shore RISE II They sing their melodies - and they drink their rum Making do with memories as old as their songs ~ CHORUS ~ ~ REFRAIN ~ BRIDGE And they have seen Saint Elmo's Fire Burn in the hearts and the eyes of the young And they have seen heroes for hire Mariner-merchants who get the job done, Singing: ~ REFRAIN ~ VERSE III On the far side of everyone's ocean There is somewhere the heart longs to go But the sea is so wide and so open Journeymen often forget to come home RISE II So I'll sing my shanties and you'll drink my rum And maybe, my hearties, we'll all have some fun ~ CHORUS ~ ~ REFRAIN ~
