Long-time songwriter with history of cuts by major artists while former staff writer with Nashville company. Owns an indie song publishing group based in Nashville and NC. Loves writing and co-writing. Always striving to be a better writer today than I was yesterday. Seeks real, honest songs with fresh, descriptive lyrics and captivating melodies. Happily married! Happily retired! Three grown kids. Five grands, one of whom now lives in Heaven..

I’m currently not on any other social media websites.

Vocals (that used to be a lot better than they are today, but I guess I get by).
Acoustic guitar (unless you need something crazy all over the strings. Mel McDaniel told me once that if it has more than three chords, who needs it! But I know a few more than that)
Keyboards: I love my Kurtzweil Grande Electronic piano! I now play mandolin, and it’s my favorite instrument,

Just play me the song that moves me emotionally in some way..I love all kinds of music..grew up on the blues of Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters, and all those old Delta blues masters mixed in with Hank Sr and the oldies of his era..Lived it all through every era right up to today's music! I have a special place in my heart for bluegrass...love to hear it..love to write it. It's truly the soul music of the mountains where I was born. I've enjoyed watching and hearing the changes from country music to pop-country through the years, but I admit that I do have a favorite country-classic station that I turn to every so often...I just love music...period! But I always seem to gravitate toward contemporary bluegrass,
