Soo many denominations and sects,and each has their own set of rules they claim are essential to salvation. My take is that the wine of the spirit sets us free rather than enslaves us with more "laws" than the scribes & pharisees could ever dream of.

As a refugee from the 60's and the coffee house era, I have been playing as a solo artist as well as in various duets, trios and bands from Canada to England, India, Nepal, USA, and places in between... played in classic rock, country and folk bands. I try to keep my songs as light and personal as possible in the acoustic genre. A lot of my songs speak on social issues and I try to relate to the common man/woman (like myself) and the things that are important in our journey thru this time span called life. The recording/production is not professional by any means. I usually try to do one-off takes and work around the tracks to enhance the sound in the limited time and equipment I have available. I hope some of these songs will touch a place in your heart or evoke a feeling of shared consciousness. All comments and critiques are welcome. All the best.

Lyrics
I grew up in the western world before I left my home At the early age of seventeen I began to roam I went out and hit the road to see what I could see Of this noble edifice of Christianity. Chorus: Jesus turned the water into wine, and that's fine I wanna know, and I think I oughta Who turned the wine back into water. I believe that Jesus came to set the captives free As long as I don't slap your cheek or kick you in the knee Now,love is s'posed to be the rule and our guiding light But I'm not gonna be a fool and ask what you do at night. Some folk don't like to hear me sing,but I don't give a hoot And there has been a time or two when I received the boot But I recall that my Lord said,"If you wanna set people free, Don't you be a bit surprised if you end up just like me". You may not catch the moral of this little song of mine But you better watch your step, now, if you're foolin' with the wine And if you get invited to that party in the sky, If all you got is water Then you won't get very high.
