About

Music has always been part of my life.  From an early age my mother encouraged us to explore music and dance.  I took lessons on organ, guitar and trumpet before settling in on bagpipes.   I  took a break from performing when it came time to raise a family and pursue my career.  Eventually I picked the guitar back up and since retiring began writing and playing mandolin.

Reflecting upon what music and artists have influenced me, I realize that music has always been my medicine and like any medicine what you take depends upon your condition at the time.  At one point I was taking Jim Morrison, at another Bob Marley, while throughout that a healthy dose of Jerry Garcia.

"On The Brightside" is a collection of songs meant to provide you with a bright smile and happy eyes.  I hope it is the medicine you need,
