Bio:
Eclectic, at best. I learned some music theory at school, and read a ton about it since. I've listened to lots of music over the years. I once played guitar in an actual garage band and actually got paid to play! Once. Although live performance is an incredible thrill, I've found that composition is even more satisfying. I've dabbled with composition and recording for a long time. [see more]

The Bell Project:

My song A Bell In The Valley is an open collaboration project. Perhaps you might like to create your own version. Although initially posted as a holiday song, alternate genres are welcome. I also have put the GarageBand archive on the web: http://smokeyvw.kats22.com/A_Bell_In_The_Valley.band.zip It's a small GB2 project. If you need help with it, send me a note. Go ahead and do whatever you like with it! If you do, send me a note so I can add you to the list. See this forum for more info.
