About

I love to create, and I love music. Music fills a basic need in human life for beauty and expression. I love music profoundly for its power to bring people together and help us to reconnect positively with ourselves and the world. I write poems and songs to share my experiences because I love the beauty and meaning of life. Great music is both technical and expressive, engaging both sides of the brain. My hope is to share musical ideas, my contribution for the enrichment and enjoyment of others.
