What Was and Is The Dream

My dream from a very young age was to be a musician, a drummer. My dream is the cause of the biggest regret of my life. It is because I did not follow that dream. I had few chances, but did not apply myself properly to make the dream come true. I think the one of the reasons was that I never got encouragement from anyone. That must have played with my psyche. So, I tell everyone what many have been saying to so many, follow your dream and never give up until you are ready to do so, not because others told you so or want you to.

But none of that made me stop playing drums, learning how to play the rhythm guitar, then bass guitar, then basic keyboard cords, basic lead guitar, singing, and composing songs. I am self taught musician. I can’t read or write music notes, which is why I say “I compose songs” not “write songs.” I have performed solo as well as with my band, performing to an audience of over 200 people.

I’ve been composing songs, my originals, for over 5 decades. I compose, arrange, play all the instruments in each of my songs, write the lyrics, and produce the songs – record and master. I have created rock, pop, country, ballads, instrumentals and blues songs. I have copy righted all of my songs.

I am not giving up though even though I was recently told that it’s impossible to do this at my age. However, even at my age, I still have hope of getting one or more of my songs to get picked up by an artist, a movie studio or a for a commercial, which is my I had this website built. It’s a way of putting all my songs in one place for people to have access to them. I am able to perform them if I am asked to do so. I am still composing a creating new music, new songs, learning and improving what and how I play.

An important factor to all of this, is that through my songs, I am able to communicate, advise, teach and support. Share from my life experiences so that others can gain benefits, learn, ease the pain of what they may be going through, or elevate them. This is why I will continue to create new songs with impactful messages to enhance and enrich.
