I'm a Hillsborough, NC native, now living in Durham, NC. My Mom taught me to play the organ in '67, after putting an acoustic guitar in my hands two yrs earlier. She gave me Shirley Caesar's "I'll Go" LP, stating that I'd work for her. Well, three yrs later, it happened just like she said, giving me all this wonderful info and life to write about. "Gifted" is the story of my life released in ‘17 showcasing the wonderful ups and downs of my life. My music genre is "smooth jazz", giving me many new stories to share as a third writing. ‘Song Stories’ is my next read sharing the information around the over (105) songs in my SESAC Catalog. I love my life and the heartfelt music that fills my life.
