No claims of being a performer. I just give it what little I've taught myself musically by songwriting. Recorded by mic, straight to computer as sound on sound.
Born at an early age, I was just a kid at the time....from there memory escapes me, until 2000 or 2001 when I decided to teach myself guitar. In order to teach myself guitar, I took to writing songs. From there, I added bass and occasionally, harmonica and a small touch of electric guitar. Not much of a performer, but I love to experiment writing songs. So, it's nine or ten years into it so far....and I've only scratched the surface with tons to learn. Maybe, you'll find something you like on the nearly three pages, I've loaded so far....Comments are welcome, I don't expect all comments to be favorable, but objectively constructive. I make no claims of being a performer....I just give it my best with what little that I've taught myself both musically and in songwriting. All songs are either written, played and sang by myself or my attempt at covering a song by my favorite artists.

Pappy would be proud that you took it all in...too bad pappy was right , you know? Your pappy told you the same thing mine said! lol And it's oh so true! I can't belive I'm already 29 year old ...where does the time go? The pan effect worked well for the vocal, and your singing was great! I drifted down my own persoal memory lane while listening to this wonderful tune. Candace and I have loved this one for a long time & it stands the test of time!!!!!!! We are proud you put it back up...back to the song. The acoustic was excellent & the harmonica was just the ticket here! The bass was like butter as always. You brought this track in for a perfect landing my friend!!!!! We love it :) ;) Candace is the one winking today! LL&Peace ~J&C~
