Let me start out by saying that everything I will be posting is recorded and mixed in my basement by myself. It is a bit raw.
I am a farmer in mid Minnesota. I love to sing and write songs, and I get plenty of oppourtunity behind the wheel of the tractor.
I have alway loved singing, and to a lesser extent writing. A few years ago I was invovled in
an accident in which a young man took his own life by way of throwing himself in front of my pickup (while I was driving it). Since that time I have developed a need to express myself and writing seems to be a good way of doing it.
My voice is all I have right now. I have been trying to teach myself the guitar and the piano, but I have not been able to pick them up yet. I do work with a [guitarist] friend of mine on some stuff, but we have a no pressure kind of relationship.
That is part of the reason that I am here. I would like to meet other people that might be interested in working with me. Also I would like to see if there is any potential for making something more out of my music. I am not waiting with bated breath for myself to blow up, but it would be awesome if something did come of it.
I am really all about the music. There are some that say I dont take it seriously enough, but I would say they take it to seriously. I just like music, and if I (and whoever else) can come up with something cool, then I am happy. That may be simplistic and naive, but thats alright. Ignorance is bliss, and right now music is blissful for me.
