This page is about the Blues, American music which is now enjoyed world wide. There've been newpaper articles, and stories since it began saying the Blues has died. I'm here to tell you that ain't the case!
A little bit about me first; I am fourty six years old, I am a Lyricist/Singer-Shouter/Blues Harp player. I've been writing lyrics forever, and only playing Harp around six years. On this sight you'll find samples of my songs and a way to contact me if you'd like me to write a song for you, warning I am most comfortable writing in a 12-bar Blues context so Britney Spears don't have to worry! LOL

This is an example of the type of songs I write, only this one is a solo shuffle. Which means just me, my voice and Harp. Or maybe a bass and drums, together or either one. I also write stuff for full bands, which to me means the above plus lead guitar and maybe piano. From the less is more school! Now on the next few pages I'll talk about some Blues-men who have influenced me, starting with Muddy Waters!
