WELCOME AND THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY HOME ON THE WEB AND THE HOME OF MY RECORD LABEL, RESTLESS WIND RECORDS ® AND MY 1950’s label, Hi-Fi Records ®.
Here for your enjoyment you will find a long and winding road of emotions and memories born in the dreams of a country boy flowing through the lyrics and music in my songs.
Perhaps in a way, my music has allowed me to become the true messenger of my spirit and my soul in much the same way, so to speak, as “There’s Just The One And Only You” - renamed “The One and Only You” when recently re-released - after having its beginning as a song in one of my high school note books those many years ago, was destined to become the love theme woven through the pages of my novel, The Summer Garden and the Song - Book 1: ‘The Circle of Life’ and Book 2: 'Harvest' have been published - see information on the BOOKS page of this website. I am near finished writing Book 3 - ‘On The Threshold of a Dream" which will complete the 3-book series making the novel a trilogy. I wrote the song, “ I Can’t Live Without Your Love”, early in 2023 for the fictional main character in the novel, Mick Neilson, in Book 3.
Our music video, “What In The World Is The World Coming To” has been judged an Award Winner as BEST MUSIC VIDEO in the Music Video category in the Rome International Short Festival - Summer 2023 Competition. The video was a collaborative effort by myself as lyricist, vocalist, video director and executive director, Michael Gogol composer, Trevor Titian editing & mixing engineer, and Jody Matheson video producer.

I was honoured to be featured on the cover of the January 2022 issue of NEIGHBOURS OF PARIS ON THE GRAND magazine along with more photos in the 4-page article on the inside pages.
