Hi to all. I've been playing for allot of years now. Have been in bands and frankly don't like the playing out thing much anymore, getting to old to pack all the gear and haul it around I quess. Recently I was a member of a three piece group posted as High Plains. Great music and great guys, but with the playing out thing and other more pressing issues decided it was time to sit back and just do what I love best, create the type of music I love best.

Lyrics
Verse 1 As I gaze upon the nightly sky I wonder if those stars are really, angles eyes Looking down from eternity Pleading with the hearts of all humanity For the bells tolled ten in our distant past From the tower of time, this story was cast Looking back the seventh sign was there Was a bag of silver really worth? The rape and pillage of this earth I cry Verse 2 As dawn appears some glimpse our fears As mother earth cries out with her wounded tears She’s lashing out in fits of rage But we the keeper’s, never see the war she’s waged The eleventh hour has come and gone Now is it too late, to undo this wrong? For wounds run deep, and mother earth she bleeds We’ve torn her skin we’ve cut the limbs From the tree’s of life, where life begins I cry Refrain The tower clock is slowly winding down (2) Bridge Verse 3 As I look into the setting sun I wonder if the end has really just begun Was our bag of silver really worth? The killing of this place we call our mother earth As our clock nears twelve, these angles scream Remember your hopes; don’t forsake your dream But the towers tale will play out till the end And mother earth she screams in pain To no avail for it’s all in vain I cry Refrain Now the tower clock is slowly winding down (2)
