Make a suggestion...Only requirement, I need my blood pressure to be low, not amped-up.

Thoughts and a Tribute to Richard Wright

Richard Wright was a true musician - one who truly influenced me musically and as a musician. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Richard (or any of his mates), he has been a big part of the sounds I've enjoyed over the years.I've been lucky enough to see Richard play live (with Pink Floyd) in the late eighties here in Raleigh. Both concerts were a fulfilling, engaging, and tearful exp...

On top of being a regular Bear and a Halloween child, I attempted to enter a music contest for indie911. I wrote, composed, practiced, and recorded this tune.Only problem was, my entry didn't qualify because I didn't pay the "upgrade charge" of a few hundred a year - so it wasn't considered. x-~You can listen to it here for FREE! (And if you want the mp3 to download, I'll send you a link. Just...

So, there have been wooden tales in instrumentals, hard rockin' plank spankin, and a little electronic rock hybrid... What's left? Lots...I'm a fortunate Bear. I have a fair life, and a good family. Music truly is wonderful and is a big part of my life. Sometimes, when one is having a good (but thoughtful) day, one has the need to express...I'm pretty lucky These Days Of My Life.

Free to be oneself and true to oneself, but free to fall - there's someone there to catch you.Care, simplicity, warm...
