A Christian Hemingway?

For those who love the bygone era of jazz music and classic novels, welcome to my site! I'm a Christian musician and author and have been writing for many years.  My goal here is to pen stories in the style of 1930s writers from a Christian, God-honoring perspective.  I also am delighted to share songs I've written in an attempt to capture the Gershwin sound, as well as arrangements of classics that you'll love to hear.  And you can visit my Youtube channel and enjoy the videos of new and old songs I've posted over the past few years.  The magic of a forgotten era awaits you!
