ArtWork By  Mark Betcher
No bombast here. I'm an outsider songster. I have no training what-so-ever. And that will become painfully apparent once you crank up the volume. The best critique so far has been: "You aren't bad and you aren't good" That places me in the 50% non-suck category. Or the 50% I wish you were dead category. One thing I have to say... Ed Wood sucked... but he had style... therefore... his work became art. And another thing... who cares... and if you do... the problem is in your head, brother. By God I love it... I think Patton said that about war... I'm OK with that. The songs range from the silly to the serious and from soft to rough house. They are mostly originals along with some covers. If you do like the sound of a piece and would like to perform it please let me know. I'll get some chords to you. Your interest would mean a lot to me and wouldn't cost you a dime (however... I'm not giving the rights away to anything... no matter how pointless this statement is...). Or if you just want to say you liked a song, just drop me an email... I'm so trapped in my little art world... that voices from the outside mean there are people out there!
