	<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Originally from Hawai'i and now in  Arizona. Music to me is very cathartic and keeps me sane in an insane world. I write about things that I have personal connections to with regards to my family, health, love, death ...life.  Sometimes just a subject that I may be intrigued with.  I'm a late bloomer when it comes to songwriting and recording and this all happened when I was in a bad car accident and suffered a TBI and then discovered GarageBand while recovering. Music is therapy and has helped me in ways that no doctor could.
I have been a singer/guitarist in mostly hard rock bands in the past but have always loved acoustic music and 70's style singer/songwriters as well as Hawaiian music and metal, go figure!  I hope you enjoy my music and please feel free to leave a comment as they are most welcome!
Peace and Aloha to you

            <description><![CDATA[My take on this classic Zep tune-It's something I've always wanted to do and now it's done-I don't really play keys and didn't want to mimic JPJones parts, so I just played what sounded right to me at the time-It's by no means a perfect cover but it's from the heart. Enjoy and Aloha!]]></description>
