Music is my joy!  I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t making someone happy with my music.

I got into songwriting when I moved to Oklahoma. While there I took a fill in job that I thought would last six months or so while I was looking for a “real job”.  The temporary job was teaching music for the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.  I ended up teaching music in prison for 11 years.

I think I learned more in prison than my students.  I taught them music theory; songwriting and the like and they taught me about how to touch someone’s life with a real message in song.
