Ultimate Spinach Quotes

I was born 7 October 46, a Southern boy from an old Southern family. My dad was military so I don't have the "roots" that a lot of folks of my generation did. However, I was lucky enough to spend the first 12 years of my life growing up in Fairfax County, Virginia, on a 5 acre farm, surrounded by other small farms. In fact, I used to catch frogs and get chased by the bulls at what is now known as WOLFTRAP...which was only a 5 minute bike ride from my house. Growing up in the country as an only child probably accounts for my solitary ways.

My lyrics have always come from two places: from my own observations and experiences and from that Dream Place the Shaman walks in. Some of the lyrics I write; some of the lyrics are written through me. Either way, don't listen to my lyrics if you're looking for that warm-and-cuddly feeling "We Are The World" gives. Listen to my lyrics because you want to be reminded that you are alive and capable of independent actions: that it's all right to be "unique" instead of common...or because you want to be taken to surrealistic places not accessible in the 9-to-5 world...or, if you're really nuts, for BOTH reasons! My stuff has ALWAYS been dark and my sense of humor is not for folks who dig Chevy Chase movies or TV sitcoms.

I started private music lessons at age 5. Wrote and performed my first tune at a little piano recital at age 6. My parents shipped me off to a military school at age 11 and, believe it or not, this was where I got my first taste of seeing someone on stage playing a tune I recognized from the radio.
