One of the great loves of my life is music. I have been singing, playing, writing and recording since I was a teenager. Yeah, the classic garage bands as well as creating music for nationally distributed animated films, a promo for The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and writing and producing the first use of rock music in a liturgical setting.

Just for fun...I have included some lyrics to some of my favorite original songs. To hear mp3 files of these songs, click on the Play Audio button. (Note: you must have an mp3 player installed on your system. If you don't, click here to download a player.)

 

• Hard Heart Honey Bee
  One of those power house women who rules the hive. A rocker.
  
• Come Back, Little Sheba
  A little bit of reggae, a touch of calypso, some New Orleans, and classic unrequited love. Special thanks to William Inge.
  
• She's A Lady
  A sweet love song. Guess I'm just a hopeless romantic at heart.
• Mister Twister
  Way back in Junior High, I won a dance contest and got the title Mister Twister. I used the name in this song about dancin'.
  
• Champagne Charlie
  About a good friend of mine with Champagne tastes and a Budweiser budget.
  
• Lights Out
  A tribute to soft music, moonlight on the bay, and the person you love.
  
• I Can't Keep Anything From You
  When you really love someone, they know all your secrets.
• Queen of My Heart
  Been a reggae fan since the early 70's. My tribute to Gregory Isaacs, who I saw one night in a diner in Negril, JA.
• Sugar Rush
  Inspired by Delta Blues...but with a licorice twist.
• Birmingham Walk
  My father was a Civil Rights hero. This is a tribute to those times. Hope he hears it in heaven.
• Lady Day
  Not about Billie, but about an erotic dream.
• Baboons on the Desert
  One of my weirdest. Just had to put it in here.
