BIO:

This summer, in order to combat the angst of my politically torn country, I'm going to concentrate on writing some sacred pieces. Hunkering down and pressing into the Lord is the only strategy I have to be at peace in my soul. My church's 82 year old head deacon gave me a book of devotions for Christmas 2017 that has some very nice old old poems. I'm going to set some of them to music. Sometimes the author is not clearly denoted...but I will give them my best guess. I will also be throwing in some secular and other original works that are completely my own - whatever I happen to wake up with each morning...as well as probably some collabs with my 5090 friends. Happy writing everyone!

Born in Scotland. Now a naturalized citizen of the USA. Math teacher by trade & currently semiretired. Songwriter and composer by compulsion. Three grown grand-kids, one son, miscellaneous step children & a supportive husband. Love the blues, rock, pop, big band, old fashioned jazz and praising the Lord in all genres. I have 17 published albums of math music (yes, you read that correctly), Contemporary Christian originals, some Hymns and Christmas music, and a sprinkling of secular love songs. CDBaby, iTunes and Spotify net me about $10 a month. I DREAM of selling something to a movie or TV show some day. Sigh. Vocal chords and piano are my preferred instruments. I also use drum and guitar loops liberally.

Songs: 56 ( = Songs posted by a different Songwriter that you Collaborated on.)
