Artist picture
A little bit Gordon Lightfoot, a little bit Harry Chapin, a dash of Paul Simon, and a whole lot of myself. I think of my music as Americana with blues, country
I play solo and with WOODY, my trio. When I play solo, I do mostly original songs with some selected covers by songwriters I hold in high regard. WOODY plays originals by the three of us also, with some covers to satisfy those in the audience who are hooked on the same 'ol stuff' they hear on the radio - except that it's not the same old stuff. We do it for the excitement and to get people dancing. It seems to work :-)

Story behind the song
I was cold
Lyrics
I think I'm gonna head south maybe stop when I run out of road pack up my duds and set sail for the sun get into a beachcombing mode Yeah, I think I'm gonna head south make my livin' in the wind and the water instead of always doin' what's expected of me doin' what I want is what I oughta (chorus 1) 'cause I'd much rather sweat than shiver I'd rather see palm trees than pines I'd rather put my skis down on water than on snow and I'd rather walk on sand than on ice I think I'm gonna head south say good bye to winter and this cold maybe I'll come back and visit some time next yer if I'm not too old (chorus 1) 'cause I'd much rather sweat than shiver I'd rather see palm trees than pines I'd rather put my skis down on water than on snow and I'd rather walk on sand than on ice (chorus 2) I'd rather be warm all year 'round I'd rather own sandals than boots I'd rather wear a skimpy piece of nylon than wear long johns and socks under a suit than wear long johns and socks under a suit 'cause I hate long johns and socks and I hate suits!
