When You’re Around

Here’s a song recorded with Mike Merenda & Eric Frey during the Deep Tissue Sessions at Humble Abode Music, West Hurley, NY 2011.

Playing my guitar all summer.

This summer I’ll be playing my guitar with my god given talents . Whipping the world into a frenzy of desire to hear more of my guitar playing. I will also be making a record and writing new songs and keeping in close touch with my favorite pen-pal by the name of Bunk.

Wax Poetic

This is what I think.

It’s been a great summer of traveling around the country seeing old friends, making new friends and playing music.

It’s been a goal of mine for as long as I can remember to live a life worth writing about, or better yet worth reading about.I’ve done my best to not only take in experiences, but at times create them. I’ll attempt with words to convey these experiences to those who might feel the same. This is the world through the miniscule lens that is my perspective, the people, places, and moments, that I’ve come across. Some of these are inspirational, some are hilarious, some are so hot and sexy that your internet device will catch fire when these tales are unleashed (interested yet?) So please, take a moment to check it out.
