Thanks for finding me on the internet's ocean of singer-songwriters and authors.
For nineteen years, I have owned and operated this licensed, Hawaii business, surprising people with singing telegrams, publishing music and books, singing at perfect beach and church weddings, performing on stage at state fairs, and volunteering at Maui rest homes. My six-year gig at Lahaina's Pioneer Inn, lead to entertaining on dinner boats, Maui home-owner association dinners, Merrimans, Fleetwoods on Front, Beach House, Three Palms and more.
I have produced five Cd's of my original music. I'm not famous, yet. I don't think I want to be. I am a hard working example of how a musician or writer can earn a living from live performances and online music and book sales.
Click on the Cd, "Tiki Torch Songs" above, to hear the songs that mirror the bizarre, true stories in my three books.
Did you read all that?
You'll like the books and music.
Mahalo,

I Earned my USCG captain's license in 1978, and started a charter company called, "Affordable Dream Sailing Vacations." During those years, I preformed at the Seattle Folk-Life Festival, Pacific NW boat shows and enjoyed over twenty years of volunteering at NW senior care centers.
While operating charter yachts in the Caribbean, I played my music at soggy-dollar bars on Yost Van Dyke, Tortolla, Marina Cay, Norman island and Virgin Gorda.
In British Columbia's Salish Sea, I played on board classic yachts, and in island restaurants. I was once hired to perform my original music at a US Navy convention in Washington State.
I know the high and low tides of a sailor's life. It's a story sewn into my music and books.
