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.

Great vocal delivery! I really like the spaced out vibe of this song, excellent songwriting. A song that stirs the curiosity and grabs your attention. A definite addition to my playlist!

Hoo thats cool. You played with much fun and in different way as most of your songs. Excellent arrangment and very smart musical idea. I love your bass playing it supports your music very well. But from the first not I discovered you with that trade mark voice!!my compliments - you really play that truly country muisc. Erik

Very nice , and different the way you did this song. Very good that approach Wade. Sort of nonchalant eh with a big thing going on but not really much of a big thing. Just some dust on the mirror.

Dear Wade, This is genius! This is a perfect example of your songwriting talents. The drug culture is out there like it or not. Your lyrics show both sides with a interesting tug of war. While listening I also was drawn to your guitar and how a awesome tone and timing it has. Always a mirrors image of perfection! Your biggest fan, Jamey
