Bluesy Southern Jazz Rock Vocal and Instrumental music. Songs about you and me and other real people. Genuine Music - Made in America.
Most of the music here is music that I have written, which is my passion - writing and playing guitar centric music with lyrics that speak to and about real people. While I spent a lot of time on the road in my younger days and played with a lot of great musicians and opening acts, I've been back at it for a few years after a really long hiatus.

Story behind the song
I was setting in a meeting one day and noticed that everyone but me was playing with cell phones checking email and the Internet, like it was drug addition, this song is my reaction.
Lyrics
Not Connected Look at all these people With a phone glued to their ear Drivin’ down the highway. Just shut up and try to steer How did you every get along without your precious cell What good are your free minutes while you’re on the road to Hell Why must you pontificate Compelled to share your current state of mind You’ve got your little ringtones Your cell phone’s got 3 bars Your talking into cyberspace You must be from Mars What can be so critical You’re on the phone all day Does anybody really care what you might have to Say What’s that You’re breaking up on me I’m loosin’ connectivity - Oh my Chorus: You can leave a message or text me with your phone Look for me on Facebook. But I am not at home You can Email You can Twitter It just a waste of time You’ll see I’m not connected - I’m not on line. You’ve got to check your email. Each and every day You’re hopelessly addicted to everything they say Pictures from Aunt Betty and Jokes from Uncle Lou An ex-prince from Nigeria‘s got a million bucks for you Computer’s slowin’ to a crawl – You just clicked Reply To All – You’re screwed. You get offers for Viagra and every kind of Spam Ads for male enhancement even though you’re not a man Someone just accessed your account but you must never fear Just send us all your credit cards. We’ll handle it from here. Just increase your cable bill You can’t live with DSL no more. Chorus: On the Net surfin’ E-lectro-magnetic waves Hangin’ 10 in chat rooms. Conversation’s what you crave Makin’ friends with faceless folks. No truth can you demand From people who in real life you could never stand. That girl you think you’re talkin’ to – Is just some guy that’s stalkin’ you on-line Chorus: Blog about your life, your dreams, your innermost desire Make a tunnel to your soul through a tiny wire. Protest about the government, and post it for a while. The FBI has noted it and put You in their file. No longer is your life your own – You’re finding that your cover’s blown away The world is getting smaller At least that’s what they say Satellites and GPS can track you through the day If you use your credit card or use the ATM You can’t deny what you have done or where you might have been Big Brother’s watchin’ you Watchin’ every thing you do - it’s true Chorus:
