When I saw the movie Sound of Music in 1966 I fell in love with music.  I started playing trumpet in a brass band shortly after at age 10, and also wanted to sing and play the guitar like my big brothers. Fast forward to 2020, and the quietude of the Covid-19 years gave me the opportunity to get out my guitar again and write some songs, and eventually record them with the help of wonderful friends, skilled as musicians and in the fine art of recording and engineering music. I then made three music videos from the recordings. If nothing else, I want to send a message that music is something to love, enjoy, share, and should be simple and low-cost. I have more songs in the works and I will continue to write and record for as many years as I have on this planet. My first three tunes are viewable on my YouTube channel, Not Dead Yet.
