“My family has been in music for generations.
It’s in my blood. When I hear it, I can play it, even though I can’t read a note. I guess I’m really a
story teller who likes to play guitar. I collect songs like some folks collect
stamps. I like the rare ones, the ones that really tell the story about experiences of the heart that resonate with
everyone.”
PAUL’S APARTMENT - This will be
the all-acoustic version. A
microbiologist, construction worker, drummer dude, industrial engineer, psychologist and a snake pudding specialist -
