Man - I need to do a better job of updating this
section LOL! Well - let's see... I got 2nd place in
the Songwriter Serenade to an AMAZING writer -
Justin Farren - so I didn't mind AT ALL! Y'all should
check him out! But even more importantly - the
weekend and the whole event was just good for
the soul :-) Songwriters and people who love song-
writers and song... are just great people :-)
And then - I did the Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk
thing and I hate to sound like a broken record but... it
was CRAZY AWESOME! I didn't get chosen as one of
the 6 "winners" but that was no biggie! The weekend
and the people and the song circles at night... again...
good for the soul!
Made some new fans at both events and picked up
some house concerts and industry friends so I hope
to see y'all out there more soon!!

A couple of AMAZING things have happened in the
last month!!!
First - I found out that I am one of the 15 finalists in
the prestigious Songwriter Serenade Contest in
Moravia, TX held May 3-5 with the big concert on Sat
May 4!! This is such an honor and I can't wait to go
hang out and meet everyone and hear 3 days of great
songs!
Second - I just found out on Monday that I also am
one of the 32 finalists in the world famous Kerrville
New Folk Contest and will be performing at that on
Sat May 25 at 1pm! Again - a weekend full of great
songs and songwriters! Can't wait! Thank you to both
of these events for including me!
Dec 19, 2018...
Well - I finally have time to put something here in the "latest news" section AND I actually HAVE SOMETHING to put here! :-)
I owned, ran, managed, and played keyboards in the Dallas based party band Professor D for 29 years. On Nov 8 - I sold the business and dove head first into writing songs full-time!!!!!!!!!!!! Whew LOL. Scary stuff. But awesome stuff. Life stuff. Excited for what God has in store around the bend :-)
