MORE ABOUT ME
Originally from Wilmington, NC, I've been writing songs and performing for over 30 years. After a busy 2-year run in the early '80s with the Stillwater Country Trio, and passing on a one song deal in Nashville in 1983 to raise a family, I took a telecom job in Raleigh, NC. Since then, I have taught beginning guitar to kids, continued writing songs and played locally in the Raleigh and southeastern NC areas. Now, with the family grown and the support of my wife Lynn, I am starting to play more live shows, write more songs and am again pursuing that elusive publishing deal in Nashville. In the summer of 2007, I released "Carolina Backroads", a CD of 13 original songs on my own independent label "Shaky Legz Music". My title track "Carolina Backroads" was recently re-released by Quickstar Productions on their "Chill Out" compilation CD. I'm an active member of the Nashville Songwriters Association (NSAI) and am affiliated with BMI and the NC Songwiters Cooperative.

“Hey Y’all
I wish I was way down yonder
Where the Catfish bite & the Crawfish crawl
Radio turned up loud to a Tim McGraw
But, oh… No….. I’m stuck up here still livin’ with my Ma & Pa
Still playin’ this ole flat top guitar
Hopin’ someday it will take me far
Cause God knows
We all could use another Star…”
Great too have new friends, all the best.
