Saxophone.ABOUT
I'm a singer/songwriter with a strong R&B influence which has led me back to the roots of rock when the saxophone was a part of the music. I have four songs recorded on CD but have only been playing sax for a couple of years since I found an affordable one. I started playing on drums, moved to acoustic and electric guitar as well as a little piano but since I discovered the saxophone, I feel that I'm playing something far more unique. However, as a songwriter I realize that the guitar is vital and so I'm back to practicing on it as well as the piano.
My singing voice can sometimes be confused with a female voice and I love the alto harmonies of the '50's doowop music. Would like to sing more of this style.

Too Many Man Hours
Too Many Man Hours Track number: 1 Year: 2018 Genre: Country
I was inspired, partially, to write this song by a country song called Havin' Daydreams About Night Things. I'm not sure who it's by but it could be Charlie Rich. The rest of my inspiration comes from my own work experience of spending long hours on a job.

You're A Heartache
You're A Heartache Track number: 2 Year: 2018 Genre: Country
I was inspired to write this song when someone told me, that's an accident waiting to happen. So I thought, why not a heartache waiting or looking for a place to happen?
