Musical Background

(September, 2020) My daddy was a DJ on the radio. So, I listened to country music for many years. He gave me my first guitar, a Stella, when I was twelve and he taught me some chords. I wrote my first song in 1953 titled “Young Lover”. I loved to sing, and still do. I have written songs in each decade since

My bride bought my first keyboard. It was a Casio. It made all kinds of little rinkytink sounds and I loved it! My first PSR was a 740, I believe. Then, it was a PSR 2000, Tyros, and Tyros 4, in that order. I am still using the Tyros4.

My bride, Sandra, and I have been married 45 years. We have three sons. The two that are married have given us three grandchildren.

We live in Texarkana, Texas and are both retired. I am 84 and my bride, 79. I am still writing, arranging and singing my songs.

I am happy to be a part of PSR Tutorial Performers. This site has helped me to solve keyboard problems numerous times. I have taken the opportunity to download many songs by the Performers and we are enjoying the music, very much. I hope you enjoy my songs! I will continue to write and sing as long as I can.
