All my words and music are spontaneously created, never to be done again. I have done over 1 million spontaneously created songs so far. God blessed me with the ability to do this and cursed me with the disability to do a cover, even one of my own. My brain gets totally scrambled. But when I just let it flow, I have an endless bag of songs. When I am in the groove, I walk into the song. The only way I can describe it is to imagine walking into a big screen movie. I feel like a spectator, watching as the songs unfold. I can feel, smell, taste, all the details of the songs. Old blues spirits visit often. They sit on bleachers, like you see at a little leauge field, and cheer me on. Their musty smelling suits, fill my nostrils, and their rythms take me over. If you are still with me, here is my story.

 I am a real live 1 man band(bass drum, snare, high hat, guitar, vocal, keyboard, harp), that I learned from Wilbert "Kansas City" Harrison, in the 70's. Everything you hear on this site was done live, with no overdubs. For the past 3 years, I have begun to teach myself the art of recording, and have built a home studio. I finally have my own musical space! I record about 300 full lenght cds a year, and probably hold the record for the most recorded artist of all time.
