WRIR Fundraiser Show

I had a swell time entertaining on the local Richmond airwaves! I got to sing some of my favorites, and the DJs were mighty good hosts. This was my first time in a very long time performing on WRIR in Richmond. I hadn't been on since 2005. I really have come a long way since then! They sure did make me feel at home. Here's a full audio clip of the show

This past weekend I entertained at Sneed's Nursery for their Fall Festival. The weather was kind of chilly and windy, but I had a great time. I always get my Christmas trees from them, and they always have a good selection it seems. I didn't get to travel as much this year as I did last year, but I figure its probably good to take a break and focus more on songwriting, tweaking my performance routines, and getting in better shape. I still have my YMCA membership and I keep up with strength training regimen. My goal is to get rid of this flab, so I can look fab!

He has a blog, and spends most of the day blogging about how much he wants to sing, how much he hates Obama, how much he dislikes drums, and detailing his weight loss. He also uploads a lot of his songs to YouTube. Now, the cynic in me wants to simply write him off as a guy in a small town with a keyboard (which he names “Bessie,” by the way) – but to be honest, there’s something about him that screams “outsider art” moreso than most any other random YouTube / blog find. He comes across like the Daniel Johnston of keyboard-based coffee shop country – a description that no doubt will set his rivaled hipsters ears on fire. For all the vast amount of information that the internet has to offer, its rare to ...

Je Suis Charlie (Song)

It started with Nursing Homes...

In High school I was active in choir, and even did some class plays. Eventually, I did have a nervous break down and had to be home schooled, but at that point, I became more serious about doing musical performance. I didn't really perform out much as a teenager, but I did get my start doing the nursing home circuit. When I was in my mid to late teens, I performed at various nursing and retirement homes all over the Virginia, Maryland, and West Virginia area. I did a variety of songs, but very few of my originals. I did mostly covers from the past. A lot of the old folks seemed to enjoy it. They would ask me how I knew all these "old songs". I just told them from my grandfather's record collection. In those days, most of the people were still alive from the World War II generation. The legacy of Patsy Cline was strong, because she sang at many of the bars and restaurants in the Tri State area. This area was her stomping ground. Some people in the area still res...
