For those on dial up connections, you may have to wait for the files on the bottom of the page to load, so it may be best to listen to them in the order presented here. If you want to stop listening before the song is done, click on the square stop icon on the little player. These are low fi MP3 files (32kps) that should work on most connections. Make sure you check the bottom of the page if you want to download some free music.

I recieved an e-mail recently from somone who listened the first song on this page "All The Same", and I got a nice review:
 
"I just wanted to drop you a line to say how much I enjoyed listening to your music, in particular your song "All The Same."  It's such a soothing and pleasant song backed with wonderful guitar playing.  It has a nice folk sound, reminding me of the musical style found in works by Gordon Lightfoot, Sara Hickman, and Shawn Colvin.  Thank you for your efforts!"
 
Another reviewer on getplayed.com wrote wrote about "All The Same":
 
"Good production, nice vocs, acoustic guitar really makes it!, maybe bump the snare up a bit. Reminds me a little of early Eagles circa 1974 (peaceful easy feelin)"
 
Well, gentle listeners, you decide...

I ask how you are, you say that you're doing fine
What can I do? You say nothing this time
We go on and on but nothing changes
We think time heals, it only re-arranges
 
Deep in my heart I want to believe you
Something inside me tells me I need you
But all the same, I know that it's over
Somehow I know you won't be denied
Somewhere, somehow you feel justified
But all the same, I know that it's over
 
I fall into the slipstream where I can do no wrong
Still you seem distant, you're just playing along
I try to crash through your facade of ill will
But still I'm unable to fathom you still
 
I don't know what you want from me
Pulling away makes you think that you're free

Through our lens
We see the world as a evil place
Where through fear we dare not show our face
For fear of hurt
Through our lens
We see people as less than they are
We judge others and we condemn from a far
Through our lens

But looking through the lens of the Gospel
We see the greatest are the least
The poor are worthy of our greatest feast
And none should be made to suffer

Through our lens
We see a world in need of change
But we'd rather revert to a bygone age
That never was

Click here to download the song "All I Know" in MP3!

I never look for, and I never try
To find an answer or a reason why
I don't know, I don't know
Another warrior meets an end
In the blink of an eye you're gone my friend
And I don't know, I don't know
 
I can't see any way out
Except to spread your love near and far
You saw beyond the mere touch of the man
And became a messenger of love
 
Feed the poor, we must care for all
Because all are equal, all are equal under God's laws
And it's so hard, it's so hard
To carry on without you
I put my faith in all I think and all I see and all I do
And it's so hard, it's so hard
