Hi Folks - I’m an independent songwriter - not a singer-songwriter. Born in Dallas of Mexican parentage. I write in English and Spanish and in a great variety of styles - from Boleros to Broadway, and everything in between. I currently live in Chicago but originally being from a migrant family of 12, as a kid, we moved around a lot, saw a lot, felt a lot, and heard a lot, which might explain my broad cultural and stylistic preferences.

Instruments & Skills
I use a piano when composing. And I try not to use a dictionary when writing lyrics - especially country-influenced songs since basic everyday speech sounds more direct and natural in that style. Not being a vocalist myself, I’ve been lucky to have found decent singers to demo the songs I’ve posted here.
Influences
Carol King, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Bonnie Raitt, John Denver, etc, etc!
Thank you sincerely, Corey. I intended this song for a lady singer. It might be a little long - I’m just hoping the “story” and the music will keep it from being boring!! We’ll see.
