I received a phone call one night when I lived in Austin, TX. It must have been around 1997 or 1999 even. Honestly, I can't really remember. I do know I was planning a little…

I have been fortunate to land where I am today; as a person, a man, a father, a husband, a songwriter, and music therapist, I am right here. As far as music goes, now and then I like to look…

While I have no memory of the setlist played by Raspberry, I'm quite sure we would have played this rocker called William T. Ryker (yes, I know that's the wrong spelling). We played a lot of house shows back in…

Here is a new song I worked up over the holidays. While it's true that it has many elements of other songs I have written, there seems to be something worth chasing in this particular untitled tune. What shall I…

Song: Golden Boy, Glenda, and Shamoo

I wanted to tell a Christmas story in the story-telling style of Tom T. Hall and Johnny Cash. Here's what I came up with. It's the story of three misfit barflies accused…
