Music Recordings

Oddly enough, many people in my social circles don't know that I have another life as a musical composer and recording artist.  Yet I have no excuse for this omission except to say that despite what some might call a gift, I am not really attached to music.  The passions which move me to compose and to perform are whole and sincerely a part of me, but once they are expressed, I simply don't think about them, until the next round of passion or need arises.

During my college years, I produced three albums as a singer/songwriter, calling my unique style idyllic rock.  I used an eclectic array of instruments around a core of piano and voice, following a structure modeled after the great rock poets of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s.  I have also written musicals, for which the style may vary according to the themes and ideas I intend to express.  The links below will take you to each individual recording compilation I have made.

Copies of my original recordings are currently limited. If you are interested in purchasing one, please fill out a form on my Contact page, let me know who you are and where you are from, and then we can communicate to arrange an exchange. I charge $15 plus shipping.
