I have a small project studio located in Nashville. All my music coming from this studio is under the group name of the Stoneage Rockets. The back story to the music is that years ago I was involved with Power Trios and had this idea. If a power trio could be so sonically full could a power duo be just as full. To make a long story short I went about it the wrong way by over complicating the music. Then along came the White Stripes and there was the ah-ha moment. It was about the simplicity. Add to that my all time favorite musician is the late great JJ Cale and you get the idea. The Stoneage Rockets music is pared down and very raw.

Farther back than I care to mention or remember I first went to college as an art major at one of America's premier art schools. For a long time I abandonded painting mostly because I tended to obsess and it wasn't unusual to stay up for days working on a project. Eventually I decided for my own health it was better to stick with my music career than keep burning the candle at both ends with my artwork. Now that I'm semi retired I now have the time and wisdom to pace myself and have gone back to painting.

I've had writings published but this is my first attempt at a novel. I need all the help I can get so I will be printing excerpts from time to time and I hope to get your feedback. I have always been a fan of history and like all history buffs have had the 'what if' moments. What would history be like if this or that had happened instead of what actually happened. Tanasi is such a story.

For the past few years we have had to deal with family health issues that have for all intents made touring no longer an option. Luckily for me I found a website that allows me to get my live performance fix once a week. It's called StreetJelly and although it's not the greatest and nobody will get rich playing there is still fun and has a decent community. Most importantly you don't have to pay anything to listen. The performers get tips, which people can buy via PayPal but you don't need to do that to just listen.
