After we pass on will there be a new dawn Will they raise up your name have you found your way to leave your mark upon this place Well I guess for me I have just begun to live to see what life has to bring Never really spent much time trying to prove that I am right I’ve beem wrong just enought times to know wrong is wrong and what right is right I just try to take each day and make a way to shine my light

Maybe you got to want to leave So that you can see what you need Out of time and out of breath I've missed the damn bus again And if I left would anyone even see There I go I'm down again waiting for the train again Waiting for someone to gently change my way Well I guess I am still trying just to find my way I got a half-chance feeling I'll make it someday It doesn't really mater as long as I got you You count on me baby like the wind and the sun I can't see why I deserve all your love and that is why I will always find my way Home Waiting for the lock to turn Can't stand another day and I know that it is my turn my turn to come home to stay I know i ain't nothing without you baby and I know you are everything I need Well I guess I am still trying just to find my way I got a half-chance feeling I'll make it someday It doesn't really mater as long as I got you You count on me baby like the wind and the sun I can't see why I deserve all your love and that is why I will always find my way Home

lyrics by Anne Marie Liljengren I love the sound of greasy fingers on my guitar helps me remember When was when when everything was free the sky was as open as all of out dreams When the sky closes in and takes down under There’s no need to fear It’s only the Thunder So play my guitar on the porch in the rain and I try to remember How I got to this place

about

This is the first record I will release under my own name. Its really my roots showing as they say. I was raised in the church with gospel and spirituals, and I found my self in the blues, before anyone had ever met me in the music world I logged 4-5 hours a day from the time I was 14 and I never let up. I love the guitar so much, its like people get to drinking, that is how I get with my guitar playing.
More then just shredding, I always want to hold back and find what the song needs from the guitar. So three of my favorite guitar players on earth shared tracks with me here- @Thomas-Brunkard(IRE) and The Inconsistent Jukebox @barry_snaith(UK) co-wrote and performed all the guitar work, I played bass on 'Death Come Knocking'. Really it's Tom's song and we were lucky to get on board.
On "aint Seen' @DDJohn(FR) played some amazing guitar alongside me, his is the more effected fuzz single coil , mine is the less paul the tis up in your face.
Manu @man-on-a-grill(FR) Did some amazing arrangement and vocals in the city has teeth, our tribute to Bowie.
So I played all the tracks, and instruments, unless mentioned above.so be kind. Singing is my thing since forever, and I am blessed to get to play guitar as well.
Thank you kindly planet Earth.

released May 6, 2016

"Death Keep Walking" was a collaboration born from the music of Thomas Brunkard(Dublin, IRE) Barry Snaith (Wakefeild UK) added lead guitars and I added the lyrics and bass. Thomas took the rest, and he can get down with a guitar viol. And a guitar and a drum set and everything else. Check them both out.

Manu Nes Annesley, MOAG, is an amazing arranger, writer, fab vocalist and he and I arranged "The City HAs Teeth" his are the amazing beach-boys-esque background vocals. He live with his Mrs. MOAG in Paris doing what Parisians do, enjoying life.

Stéphane Laporte (DDJohn) is from close to Paris, just outside in a secret hideout with he plays amazing guitar in his home studio and clarinet in his local chamber orchestra. "Aint Seen" was a blast to make. We both a haver a deep respect for the work of Jimmy Page, and we really connected on that point.
