I was watching T.V. the evening of September 14th of 1973, Burt Sugarman's Midnight Special to be exact, when this guy came on singing a song called "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown". I thought it was the coolest song ever. Still do. Six days later he was killed in a plane crash while out on a make-up tour. I knew right then that I wanted to be a singer/songwriter. I got my first guitar in 1981 and began teaching myself to play through books, tapes, friends suggestions, and hands on experience. I had my first tune penned by the end of 1982. I've got around 80 songs copyrighted so far. But only about 20 have been studio produced. Over the years I've had a few tunes played on the radio. Mostly Indies. My musical influences run from Buddy Holly to Jim Croce and all the outstanding singers and songwriters from that time frame. I sound 70's because
