ABOUT

I love to sing, play piano, and a bit of guitar. I do like to mainly play rhythm and I love a little of blues soloing. I am primarily an online instructor of social sciences and I have practiced with various bands over the years. I have done solo performances. I love to write songs and want to work on forming a band with co-writers and performers to play in the Richmond, VA area, domestically, and internationally. I would love to find musicians who are around my age, who are into similar interests, who would be willing to write, record, practice, tour, and work on getting better.

** It is important to note, too, that I do not drink, nor smoke, nor do drugs, who are vegetarian, who ideally go to the church and are spiritual/open to other faiths, who are into personal development, learning about other cultures, traveling, and who go to the gym. I would want musicians who are similar to me as we might be touring in "healthier environments" (as much as possible).

I registered a songbook in 2002 and want to revive the songs. I would love to have 100 songs by the end of this year and work on creative strategies to brand ourselves.

Here is a link to my SoundCloud page where I uploaded a 15-minute run through of voice/guitar:

I also have a Zoom link posted within that page that has a visual of what I look like with the guitar/piano. The audio did not get recorded through the computer. It can give you a sense, even still, of what my style is like.

I would love to hear from you!

I have a variety of pics over the years. The piano pic is from DC in 2009, the guitar pic on the sofa is from 2021, and the face pic with the pilot hat is from 2022.
