My first CD, There's Gotta Be a Road, is now available! It includes a dozen original songs written between 1985 and 1999. Charles Sanderson joins me on three cuts, and John Finan, Leslie Frederick, and Mike Dorn (all formerly of Big Green X) contributed to "Not Enough Hope to Go 'Round" on the CD. The album is all acoustic with stripped-down arrangements that let the songs stand out. I think you'll like it, and at $15, it's the cheapest way to have me come to your house and stay awhile.
