I don't know why particularly that I started writing songs, but mainly because worrying about copyrighting is a pain in the neck. Plus I thought I had a good literary background or namely familiarity with words and thought to give it a go. I've always enjoyed the guitar and have aspired to play like the legends. How so much I have accomplished this is marginally affirmed. It's fun however to strum the melodies and bang out the lyrics. Certain chords like D and Ab almost talk to you.

David Simmons

When I first started in formal music, I had a Christian friend named David Simmons. Now, I was in a Southern Baptist congregation. First thing is, David was a southern guy who did not judge me "easterness". Actually, he found most of my New Yorkish reference and anecdotes and miens quite amusing and refreshing. This made me feel quite at home in an atmosphere of which I was not accustomed. I am humbled and ashamed to say that I did not reciprocate this respect at the time. I had all sorts of things to say about "backwards" southern people and their ways and their faith! David certainly showed me something. What a true guy! I miss him. I miss them all.
