I have been singing and putting words to music since I was kid, and started writing songs several years ago. Stately Traveler was originally a poem in a collection called "Looking for the Twenty-First Relationship" that I set to music, and in this recording and others I sing with myself a capella. Diamond Mine is my first departure from that, and my first experience with mixing tracks (Thanks to Magix software). Other works from LFTTFCR are in progress right now - recording and composing is still ongoing, so...watch this space!

Name of the artist?

From Abraham Lincoln's inaugural address: "We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battle-field, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature. "

Music Style

My songs tell stories, sometimes very clearly, sometimes in the subtext. I'm a quirky person with some quirky songs, I guess!
