Professional musician in Portland area in early 70's performing cover tunes of the day. Then after a 25 year hiatus, the career was brought back to life. Soon I began writing songs for the first time. 6 years later, with about 50 original songs, 2 Studio produced CD's and two Live Recording local releases, I've become very comfortable and happy about performing.I'm also not shy of the business side of the business side of the industry. I have done booking for events and for venues. I do all of my own job seeking, networking, booking, promotion and web maintenance.I am realistic about my place in the business. I'm a local entertainer and happy to be doing it. I'm a bit old to desire fame and touring but I'd love to see and hear other musicans play and sing my musical creations. I also like helping new artists find a direction to advance their craft.Specialties: Songwriting, singing and performing... I really enjoy writing and singing songs from the heart, often with humor.I'm also adept at working the business end of the music scene... booking, promoting, web work and networking.
