I had dreams of being a rock star. No, not dreams…full fledged plans. I wrote, recorded, gigged songs that I wrote with a business plan to '”make it” as a songwriter.
…I sent demo cassettes (I know…I’m old) to record companies
…I got rejection letters
…I started to gig around
…I toured the world with Up With People, assuming that would catapult me into the music industry
20 years later I’ve arrived at a much different destination. I’ve been quite blessed in my life but I’ve discovered I still need to write songs and share them (thanks Jewel). Whether from my old archives, from my rock star days, from the recent past, or new and fresh, I need to share these songs in hopes that they might impact you as much as they, and the events that inspired them, impacted me.

Songs by a Robot
Call to action. Unity. Love. Support. Sometimes the song writes itself...and sometimes the guitar writes it for you. My 12-string definitely wrote this song.
Composed and recorded in 2021
Don't Look Back
Urgency. Love. Exploration. Adventure. Regret. Yearning. "Don't Look Back" is an important song for me. Yet, for years I assumed it was lost.

I Hate, I Love
I started writing this song with a desperation to get out of
a life situation I was in...only to realize it wasn't the situation that needed
to change...but my attitude and how grateful I should be for all the amazing
situations that make up my life.
