Discography
I started taking piano lessons as a kid, but quickly moved to the guitar when I heard an album by Andre Segovia.
I studied classical guitar for several years until my aunt gave me an album by the late great Brazilian Bossa Nova guitarist Baden Powell.
At that point I switched to Bossa Nova and spent many years trying to duplicate the fantastic sounds that Baden Powell created with his guitar.He is the reason I am a guitarist today.

This is what I will sing to the love of my life, should I ever find her. It is what I believe real love is all about - good times and bad times, but you go through all of it together.

This is the first song I wrote. I was 18 and in my medieval phase. It is loosely based on the French poem "La Chanson de Roland". Spoiler: he keeps his promise.
