Current Status

Well, I'm nearing the end of my time here on earth. I've loved deeply and I've hurt deeply. And all of those experiences I've put down here in song. Well, not ALL, but a lot of them. And I don't care whether my name is known, but I would love it if somewhere down the road, perhaps thousands of years from now, someone will hear the words in these songs and be inspired. That's why I write. For those in the future who might need to hear something said in this music.
