About This Site

So, finally, a long-desired re-lauch of this music site, a different offering with a different philosophy.

It comes from the realization that I never intended to make a living as a recording star (huge surprise!). My intention was always to write songs so that people who are really good at recording songs can record them.

In that case, why get fussed and bogged down in the effort to sell recordings on the Web? people with lots more resorces than me can't do it, so ... instead, let's create a site that gives everyone, preformers included, access to everything they might need to enjoy and, if they like them, perform these songs. So that's what's here. For the casual visitor, a chnace to explore and enjoy all the music I've written; for the musician, access to song materials; for other songwriters, a look into a colleague's process.

All this requires a new structure, first off: the heart of it is the song pages - a page on each piece I've written or will write, grouped together under the "music" section.

The song pages have the story of the piece and its lyurics, and they link to demo and live recordings, lead sheets, scores where avaialble,

Around the edges of the site:

• a journal about music and songwriting. It's a Wordpress site so you can comment, I think.
• a "projects" page that gets you to the music through a different lens.
• pictures I've taken or drawn or that relate to the music
• a list of shows, past and future, though I don't play live very often.
• texts - poems etc. Lyrics for the songs are on the song pages.
• and a "business" page for those who want to know how the rights work, how to get permission to record a song, and so on.

So it will be a work in progress forever, as I see it.  Drop in from time to time and see what I've had time to add. Also the Journal will say what I've been doing as I do it. I hope you enjoy it.
