I'm definitely more of a rocker than anything else. I do a few blues tunes and some with a country flavor, but what I write is mostly rock oriented.
Hi! First, thanks for checking out the music. This is all original music, the majority of it written by me. I had the opportunity to record with some incredible musicians including Craig Wetz on his 6 string fretless bass, Speedy West,Jr. on lead guitar, Otis Watkins, David Short, and many other seasoned players who donated their time and talent to my project at Terry McCann's "Nightflyer Studio" in Okc. Like most players, I continue to do this because I can't NOT do it!! I perform regularly with Craig Wetz as part of an acoustic duo, with him on the upright bass and me on the acoustic electric. I also perform most Sundays at Okc's legendary "Blues Saloon" jam with everyone from Scott Keeton to Speedy West,Jr. and other fabulous musicians who stop in. It's a real thrill to see people dancing and singing the words to songs that I wrote. I am grateful and appreciative to all of the players who have believed in and supported me through the years. You guys kept me going and I love you all...you know who you are! In the end, I dedicate all that I do to my Number 1 fan, my Mother, my friend..Leona.

Story behind the song
Just one of those days when the troubles and worries in the day ahead makes you want to hide under the covers and stay there!
Lyrics
Well I wake up in the morning raise my aching head start thinking 'bout the troubles in the day ahead my whole bodys feeling heavy I don't have the strength to move I've got the symptoms of the blues, oh yeah I've got the symptoms of the blues Well I smell that coffee brewing, papers at my door but those things don't seem to motivate me anymore I don't want to go to work today, I don't care whats in the news I've got the symptoms of the blues, oh yeah I've got the symptoms of the blues Well I can feel 'em coming on but theres nothing I can do to keep these clouds from raining down on me Oh but if they don't go away real soon I'm gonna come undone 'cause it's getting so dark that I can't see, oh no Well I wake up in the morning raise my aching head I can't think of one good reason to get out of bed I don't want to go to work today, I don't care whats in the news I've got the symptom of the blues, oh yeah I've got the symptoms of the blues, uh-huh (repeat out)
