By poetry the mind is aroused and from its music the finish is received.

This cd took many years, and many journeys into dreams, and observations of living life in those dreams.

I grew up in the midwest and listened to a variety of music styles, jazz,big band,motown, rock and roll ect. that is what got me started with listening to a broad genre of music styles. I took lessons on trumpet at first then was drawn to piano and organ. I always liked music with keys in it then one day i picked up a guitar and started playing. I taught myself with the help of keyboards and went from there, I listened to rock, folk rock, new wave, new age, pop, and techno pop, since my influences were keyboard oriented that was the styles that drew me in. While attending college ( studied philosophy and psychology) , I played in various clubs on campus and around town. also formed a band where I played keys, guitar and sang lead. Then went out on the road in the midwest for 8 years.

A move to Manhattan got me there just in time as the folk scene was evolving. After a series of gigs in the metro area, I concentrated more on writing and started collecting synthesizers then started another project (new age) to be released next spring.

So basically I have blended many styles of music to bring this cd into fruition. I am not drawn to one or two groups or musicians, there are songs out there that catch us by surprise and that is what I am drawn into, music that makes you day dream ,that lets you be your own guide, then comes up from behind and makes you think to what the meaning really is.

Life is like a waterfall,shimmering in the sunlight and glowing with rainbows, then ending in a pool of complete silence
