I started playing guitar at age 45 and writing music at 46. The early songs are very family oriented and then I started to write love songs so I could meet girls. Now I get to write love songs for Cindi, my wife and our combined family of 11 children. There is no shortage of material for music. I have found that my favorite song tends to be the last one that I have written. Having said that, I hope you listen to the songs that are inspirational in nature. Like all of us, we have had our share of tragedy and these songs have been very helpful. I hope they help you and I have made a tiny contribution to making the world a better place.
