Updates and New Mixes

Oct 31st 2025 12:03pm

All songs for American Dream and Cold Parts have been re-mixed and re-mastered with a couple new songs added to American Dream.

I have been the bassists and occasionally played the harmonica with Detroit area artists including Howard Glazer, Harmonica Shah and Emanuel Young and Chicago area artists including Joe Rayfield. I also spent some time in the Florida Keys playing an eclectic variety of Rock, Pop, Country, Jazz & Hawaiian, Carribean, Polynesian and other Island Music. This is a showcases of over thirty years of my music. Welcome to My American Dream.

The Music

Cold Parts is a Country/Alt-Country album with a blend of Traditional and Country Rock. American Dream is a collection of songs written over the course of my lifetime. Blues, Rock & Roll and other Roots Music make up this collection. In Progress is just that, works in progress. So put on your hard hats and watch out for sharp objects and falling debris! I perform all vocals and instruments (With a few guests helping me out on American Dream). I hope you enjoy what I've created.
