I've always approached writing music with a see what happens, right from the heart place. Anything I work too hard at usually sounds like... I worked too hard, and it didn't come naturally. Not all songs happen that way, and most are, in fact works in progress until some point where it starts making sense. But a song can take you somewhere, and leave something very special with you. My great joy is when someone tells me that they were touched some way in their lives with my music. That's really what it's about with me , anyway. The music... everything else is forgotten eventually. That's a very big reason I'm working with the guys in Raspberries again. We touched many people in different ways, I'm learning, and I'm proud to play that music.. with those people. So, hope you can say hi... and good luck with your music.
