Artist Bio

Influences: Jugbands, outlaw country, Piedmont blues, rockabilly, jazz of all eras.

I've been playing for what seems forever, and writing more seriously for ten years. Acoustic guitar is my primary instrument, but I play frailing banjo, mandolin/mandola, and bass as well. I wish I retained more of the piano I took as a kid.

Thanks for letting me know about the link on my song. I'll have to go back and double check it in the morning. I may have left a letter out of the file name.

You leave awesome comments, you know that, right? Upside Down In Love was a great little project to do. Gave me a chance to do something I normally wouldn't in an arrangement.

Thank you for your comments on my songs! After I played Stick Together to my husband, he said the problem with epoxy was it was brittle. Hmmm.

I have to bow out now (or shortly). But: applause for your commenting generosity. It's great to have somebody way out in front, just to show what's possible in feedback on FAWM and to totally overturn the still-too-common "I don't have time to comment" comments. Well done and thank you!

Thanks for your comments on my songs. I did have one person offer to collab, but haven't heard from them in a while. If they back out, I will let you know!

They're going to post live DnD sessions! All of them gathered around doing improvisational stry-telling together, and they'll have the music playing in the background as they play.

You're right; "Hidden Intent" *was* chaotic. I've remixed it so that things are (hopefully) clearer. Cheers!

We've been following Terry Pratchett since The Light Fantastic. But did you know the trolley breeding was sparked by "Or all the seas with oysters" Avram Davidson? Pratchett must have read it about the time I did, except he did wondrous things with it!

Thanks for that comment on Six Strong Women, man. Aye, it was a particularly emotional send off for a wonderful woman.
@quork 5 weeks

Re. Easybake Oven, that’s a great suggestion. That old lady watching has stuck with me all these years. Taking her perspective would make for an emotional song.
@dutch1967 5 weeks

Brilliant is a bit of a stretch, I feel I can do much better on the bridge in Skid Row. But thank you for the very kind words, helps to know people are actually listening. Know that March, maybe even April will be spent honing, shaving, sawing, hacking, grinding the words on just about every song I post on here. It's more of a curse than a blessing.
@dutch1967 5 weeks

Gonna try and top Never Been eitherway. May fail miserably, but to not try is not in my nature.

hahaha Tres you crack me up "punch-never-thrown-line"

Also, don't one-up my lyrics with your comments. lol It's not fair.

Thanks so much for your comments on “I Wanna Go Home” and “Through the Looking Glass.”
@dutch1967 6 weeks

Regarding The Breeze, I was thinking of slapping a capo on for the whole song. So, keep the feel of the chords but make myself sing it in a higher key. Turns out farther that 2nd fret is a no-go area for the chorus.
I like your idea of modulation for the last verse, I'll try that!
@dutch1967 6 weeks

Hi! Thanks so much for listening to The Breeze. I'm thinking of setting it to a different key just to spice up the vocals. To get more energy from the words... whatchu reckon?

@mikeb 6 weeks

Thanks for commenting on '3000 Miles' - the verses are Bbm to Emajor, quite a challenge to adapt to an unusual pairing such as that - and not easy to play for an amateur keyboard player like myself!
