I'm just a 56 year old cement mixer driver who gets laid off every winter for 3 months.I enjoy writing songs and recording them myself at home on my 8 track Boss BR864 recorder.It's just another one of my many hobbies.I just do it for kicks.Just laid back musical enjoyment. I have lots of originals and collabs on my page.My originals are are true stories about me,or people I know,or how I feel about things.Collabs are all efforts of me and my Soundclick friends.Doing collabs is my favorite thing here on Soundclick.Hope ya enjoy some of the tunes.

Wow, how many years, 15 it says. We had a cool sound you and me. (Hey somebody has to brag on us hahaha) loved those days Laurel, especially to get to pick with good musicians as yourself . Hey they opened up the forums, but no country and blues yet. See ya my good picking buddy :)
