They are country songs and could be pop songs as well. I was born in Seattle WA in 1949 and grew up in Arbor Heights and lived in the same house all my childhood that my parents lived in all their married life. I was gifted with my hands and learned to build at an early age, I could build a motor bike, boat or a house by the time I was in high school. My song writing took off in 1989 when is soon began to sing karaoke but I had memorized many popular songs when I was in grade school. I memorized many country songs until I had decided to develop my own music. I sang acapella and recorded published and copyrighted over one hundred songs but I haven’t found the time to release them yet. I have a single which I won’t to pitch soon. And have decided on what will go into my first CD. My illness made it possible to have time to write the many songs and my illness began in 1973 when I was in the Air force in Ansbach Germany. As a weather man I recorded the weather at the air field fro the pilots and it was then I had my first symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia and depression, it wasn’t until 1981 that my illness reoccurred and in 1993 I became disabled from it. I had the privilege of graduating form college, working as a drafter and progressing to a tool design manager, building several houses on my own and developing a limousine business before I became disabled along with divorce which caused it all to come crashing down at a loss. My illness made me unable to work and this tragedy kept me down so I wasn’t able to have any gainful employment since 1991. It was recently that I decided to write my biography in a book called Insightful Thought and my lyrics in another book called Heart Felt Lyrics which I will release to the market next. It has taken me a long time to write this book because of gathering all the material over the years and the mistakes I make because of being distracted by my illness. During my life I married five times due to the repercussions of the illness I have. In writing my music I reflected on the renewing of the relationships I had and new relationships as well I hope you like it please let me know. My relationships were stormy until the last one because I told her about my illness before I got married which increased the trust and her willingness to cope with my illness. This last marriage has been a success and we are truly happy together. I am thankful for my life which made it possible for me to have a normalcy in spite of my disability. We have been able to buy a home, travel and enjoy camping in my retirement years. And my wife and I enjoy the free exercise we get at the Randolph Air force gym. I have suffered like Job but also regained all that I lost.
