I began writing music when I was thirteen although I had been playing guitar since I was eight years old, inspired by the many bands of the mid-sixties.Of course, I was a little young in the Sixties so, the music I danced to and listened to in high school and beyond was that of the Seventies. In particular, artists who influenced me were : Paul McCartney/Gordon Lightfoot/ the Moody Blues/ Loggins & Messina/ John Denver/ Dewey Bunnell (America)/ Dan Fogelberg/ Michael Murphy/ Tom Petty (some of my rock stuff), and others.I've written songs in a variety of genres, including: Country; Christian, Rock R & B, Celtic, and others. My primary style is easy-listening, adult-contemporary pop ballads such as She Could Be the One, which I co-wrote with Denis D'Aoust.I continue to collaborate on new tunes and keep current on this fascinating and many-facetted industry
