My latest full-length album of original songs, The Road That I Must Take is available at popular download and streaming sites.
Song of the Month
This month’s featured song is a “I Didn’t Think”, in memory of my cowriter, Mary Lou Sudkamp, who passed away late last month after a long struggle with cancer. Mary Lou and I wrote this song and two others (“Undertow” and “What Do You Want to Know”) between 2003 and 2005. This recording was initially released as a single in 2018 then included on my The Road That I Must Take album in 2019. It is available on most popular music streaming and download sites.
