Bio

I am...An out-of-place South Dakotan living in California, God help me.

While I may not be a poet, I can usually tell a story, so my music and lyrics tend to be pretty simple. I don't have mega-skillz on guitar or vocally, but that's alright as long as I am having fun and making music I like. It is what it is. That said, I welcome constructive comments and ideas that can help me do a better job musically, or help me refine or define my lyrics better. Thanks in advance for that! smile

If I post anything here you want to put to your own music, please FEEL FREE! Hearing another persons musical take on lyrics is always cool! smile

Now for this year...I don't have any idea where I am going to get ideas, but that will be the fun of it now, won't it? smile

PS: My daughter Katie is blessed with some serious vocal talent and a creative sense for songwriting... check out her stuff:

  •  G Slade 2 weeks ago
    lol..i'll never telll
  • sueawesome 3 weeks ago
    How did it happen?....the same way my two boys were born on the same day 3 years apart....God's special little timetable.
  • sueawesome 3 weeks ago
    I don't know tempo, or rhythm....my brain doesn't think that technical. Sometimes I do actually hear melodies and probably a tempo/beat.....but I don't know how to put that on paper. So I just write the words. I think the only reason (outside of the fact that people here on fawm are so musically talented) that my lyrics make it to a demo, are because I love music....so I've seen patterns in writing - sort of.
    Honest Eyes should probably be taken off my list....it came out so horrible. I like some of the lines....but on a whole....I might be thinking yuck. But I think that about most of my stuff....and then someone turns it into something awesome....
    So have at it....I'm sure you'll make it awesome! smile

    btw: Do you really have a married daughter and a 4 year old? Gracie's voice makes me melt! I always wanted a girl....thankfully I get to love my boys just as much as if they had been girls.
  •  Billy Sea 3 weeks ago
    I'm probably going to get in trouble with the water department for wasting a whole bowl of water, but I thought that would add to it after sounding so serious all the way through (I'm just glad I didn't accidentally drop my voice recorder in someplace where I would have probably left it....LOL
    Thanks for the fun collab, very cool smile
