Artist Bio

Influences:   Jerry Jeff Walker, Robert Earl Keen, Todd Snider, Guy Clarke, Pete Seeger, Mike Seeger

I tripped into the Folk Revival by its back door: Leadbelly and Woody Guthrie. It took me a long time to dig through the crap of the Revival surge and find old-time string bands and early ballads.

And eventually I tumbled to the alt-country of Robert Earl Keen Jr, Guy Clarke, Todd Snider, Townes Van Zandt, and Jerry Jeff Walker.

I am a simple man with simple hands: another moron with a fly rod and a guitar.

    It is unbelievable how you manage to cerate something that beautiful in such a short time... I love what you did with "Blue moon nights" here, what a gorgeous, tender tune and awesome vocal delivery! The guitar suits the song perfectly, all comes together here so nicely, I am absolutely amazed at how the song turned out!
    May I ask you for a favour? I would like to keep this song forever, also for the time when it will be deleted from this site (which happens every year just before a new FAWM will start). Could you be so kind to send me an mp3-file on my email address, which is

    ? I would be very happy about it... And once again, thanks so much for this fantastic song!

    I am so glad that you have been bitten by the FAWM bug, and I am glad to have introduced you to it. It's custom-made for you, and you're churning out some really awesome tunes.

    I'm still trying to get the lyrics together for our collab...accent on the "trying" part. We'll see what happens.

  • @bithprod  Feb 2022

    No, it's great! Thanks for adding that alt-country feel. Right up my alley. Aaand I just saw your influences. All excellent songwriters!

    We should make more songs together.

  • @bithprod  Feb 2022

    Thanks. If you let me know what you need done to the lyrics I can change them on my end.

    Glad you liked my "Too Much Baggage" -
    YOU SAID: "I always struggle with where to start the story of a song. It is never "at the beginning: "she put an overweight symbol" is the right place. Well done."

    I have to confess that I wrote the second verse first and then when the second emerged it became obvious that it should be the first. This often happens to me, but rarely on a skirmish. I love them though. If I had enough time I'd do every one that comes up.
