I
like many different styles of music from Country to Rock 'n' Roll
and Ballads to Standards. This is evident when you see my live act.
However, I am not a "jukebox" and I don't do every song
ever written, although some think I should. Mostly I perform songs
that I like from artistes I respect. Well, that's what I try to
do. In reality I feed off the audience and if they look like they
want more Rock 'n' Roll and less Country that's what they get.
One
of the things I like most is playing songs with just the acoustic
guitar and sometimes, if it feels right, I will throw in the odd
acoustic number. These days, though, that isn't enough for most
audiences so I do have full backing, most of which is either produced
or arranged by me. The exception to this is the Neil Diamond covers
which I try to keep as close to original as possible.
My
own songs are another passion. I wrote my first in 1967 and have
continued to this day. Hundreds are still in rough demo waiting
to be developed and maybe one day I'll get around to them. Others
will be appearing on these pages as soon as I get around to recording
them properly. Give me more time in a day. (Keep an eye
on the "Sounds" page)
