Hello to you! This website is currently under RE-construction... by me, myself.. this will take awhile, I'm starting from scratch due to an error! I lost EVERYTHING from my old site.  Journal entries, songbox.. lyrics, discography list.. everything.   Every day is an adventure!  Please visit me at Facebook to keep in touch, I do most of my udpating and song posting there anyway.  To hear my music or buy CD's or mp3's, or download for free, visit me at reverbnation.  I have about 50 songs over there, because they let me share as many as I want to for free.  Pretty nice of them.  There's also a mailing list there, and an app for android phones.  I don't have a smart phone so I can't tell you how good the app is.  You can see my videos at youtube if you'd like, as well.  If you do, please let me know you stopped by, in the comments sections.  Thank you! 

If you are finding me because of the movie, "Revelation Road - The Beginning of the End" .. which is how 99 percent of people find me nowadays, and that is my biggest news as of late..I thank you so very much for looking me up! Please say hello!  If you haven't heard of that movie, then you should check it out! I have two songs in the film.. "Staircase" and "Moon Hanging Low" .. both of which I wrote, recorded, and produced.  You'll hear "Staircase" in one of the opening scenes of the movie as David A.R. White is driving down the road listening to his stereo.  "Moon Hanging Low" plays in its entirety during the end credits.   

 If you listen carefully, you can even hear "Staircase" in the official movie trailer in several places.  Very easy to hear it at the end...  ("I will do my best to leave..." ♫♪) I'm kind of freaked out, that my song is in a really big movie.  You can buy it anywhere that movies are sold.  Part 2 and Part 3 are also available now.  It's cool if you support the films because they are independently done, and it's always a blessing to support indie filmmakers and actors and musicians.  I'm a little bit biased, of course.

My 2012 album is now on Spotify, iTunes, etc.. I do get paid for purchases made on those sites, thank you for your support!  

Update: 5/31/15

Hello!  It is a rainy, warm day in Tennessee today.  I'm drinking hot chocolate and doing laundry and playing my guitar for the first time in a long time.    Life is good. 

Please say hello to me at Facebook.   I always chat back. : )

The most recent song I've written was in January of 2014 and is titled "Against the Sand"  The lyrics and chords are as follows, and a video is at Facebook if you'd like to hear it.  It's just audio and video of my guitar.  Just had to get it recorded so I'd not forget it.  Much easier to quickly use my camera than my recording equipment.

"Against the Sand"

C, F
tiny little pebbles in the sand
C,G
I lifted them up into my hand
C,F
and tossed them far away into the sea
C,G,C
gone now forever, let them be


CHORUS

C, F
the tide, it rolls away now
C,G
But I know it will find me once again
C,F
and I..... now watch the moon set
C,G,C
here with my back against the sand



C,F
I saw a bird and he saw me
C,G
I hope that he remembers me
C,F
he flew from a tree down to my hand
C,G,C
and then he flew away beyond the sand

 Feel free to download any of my songs as you wish, but if you share them, please do give me credit for creating them...  My work is available for use in films, creative projects, videos, etc.. but please ask me for permission first. I'll probably say yes anyway.. but let's all shake hands imaginarily and do things properly.   

Thank you! 

To ask for permission for song use, please send me an e-mail:

folk_rock_dreams@yahoo.com and as the subject, put "Dear Serena"
And I promise to read it, and to reply.. but it does take me awhile sometimes.

For a quicker reply, please contact me through Facebook.  Thanks!
