I have enjoyed singing and playing the Spanish Guitar in Country Music Style since 1956.
The sound of the bass was inspired by Johnny Cash's music. Listening to the Folk/Country style of music by John Denver always inspired me to keep singing.
Writing lyrics about historical events put to music was my goal. Especially with clear pronunciation and a pace of words that relay a message that is easy to understand and follow.
Traveling throughout the USA in a motor home gave me the opportunity to read historical markers about facts and events. This gave me the basis for lyrics which were then turned into rhyming melodies.
