HI! Thanks for stopping by and listening... I hope you find something here that you enjoy and if so, please take a minute and say HI. I try to reply to every person who leaves me any comments, but sometimes I get quite a few and don't make it to everyone but please know that each and every one is tremendously appreciated!

So, I guess I'll start with the fact that first and foremost in my life is my relationship with Jesus Christ, my truest friend and ally as I walk through this uncertain world with God my Father preparing me as all father's do to enter into the next phase of my life with him in heaven. This preparation has consisted of many good times, but lots of bad as well culminating with the loss of my beloved wife in 2002 (Have a look... To Where You Are). This one act that I was certain would bring my destruction, in itself changed my course and brought me back into fellowship with him eternally. And I can now honestly say that though I don't understand it, I am thankful that it has been used in a way that only he can.

I am also thankful for the three wonderful children that he has blessed me without whom without I would probably have not survived the heartbreak of losing her. I can also say that I am very grateful for my family especially my mom (ProudMom stop in and say HI to her.. she's AWESOME!) some of whom you may see me play or sing songs for from time to time and my girlfriend Eagles_Angel66 and her daughters who have also been instrumental in helping to shape this "new" me.

But since this is a music site, let me tell you a little about my love for this transcendant thing we call music. Since I was very young, becoming a professional musician is what I always wanted to be when I "grew up" ;-). And that is exactly what I did, working in many different bands, and doing professional recordings for a short stint until in 1993 my beautiful wife told me that in order to continue down that path, I would have to do it without her as I was about to enter the heavy "road" work that inevitably is part of every musicians life at some point, and she couldn't see herself living that life. She wanted me to do what I needed or wanted to do, and loved me very much, but she had to be honest about how she felt and she made it clear to me that the decision was mine to make and she would still love me regardless of that decision. But, for me, there really was no decision. My childhood dream become reality had subconsiously been replaced by a new one... HER and my family! So... I gladly and without regret layed down my saxophone for what I thought was for good. But since her passing, I have slowly begun to bring it back into my life especially as my kids get older and there is more room for it. And I am finding that I still have the same passion for music I've always had.

I'm no longer the musician I once was, but I'm getting better all the time, and I hope maybe someday to regain the ability of my youth. But more importantly now... is that I FIRMLY believe that whatever gifts and talents God gives us we should use to glorify HIM and that's what I intend to do! These talents aren't mine anyway... I've simply got them on loan from HIM.

So, I choose to Praise HIM and then even though I may not have the "chops" of my younger days, or be able to control my finger movements as I once did.... ALL Glory is HIS and maybe.. just maybe... somebody can catch of glimpse of the Glory I've seen in HIM through me.
