I'm a semi-retired 20-year Air Force veteran and self-accompanied vocalist performing easy listening folk/folk-rock in the styles of Jim Croce, Harry Chapin, and Neil Diamond. I create minimally invasive easy listening atmosphere while maintaining sound levels conducive to holding dinner conversation. You might not notice I'm there, but you would miss me if I were gone.
