This CD is a sample of how I am live from 2000 to 2002. I've been playing at Linneman's since 1995 and over the years I have developed my performing. Usually at an open mic night, unless the place is quiet, I play more covers than originals, yet I make them my own.

'Year Of The Cat' is one of my favorite songs and I love how great it still sounds when it's stripped down to just guitar and voice. 'You Can Do Magic' I perform very aggressively since the original could use a little more energy, besides it lets me growl a little. 'Faith 101 is an early original of mine. I was 'the faith song' on the Obvious demo of mine. But I changed this song to a reggae style and I was pleased with how well it works. 'Liquid Armor' was written at Fuel Café while I was waiting for the open stage at Linneman's to start, so I thought I'd try it out live first. 'Lament' is retitled from 'I want to stop' from the Obvious and 'I Can't Stop' and 'The Dirt' are live versions from my 'Snowfall CD from 2002. I like to goof around sometimes on stage and this shows with my Prince version of 'I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man' I have a feel for the blues and I took Sade's 'No Ordinary Love' and wailed like I was really hurt. 'Miss Mary Mack' started out as a joke but became a great vehicle to show how a song can sound good if not better by changing the style. This is a song thet I learned as a kid in catechism class. I drove me nuts, so I had to change it. Overall, I just have fun with the songs I perform regardless of style.
