Welcome to my page.
I am honored to be associated with my creative partners, who are not only friends but brothers. And in the case with Scott, it's legal; he married one of my two sisters. We've all been friends for a long time, as is repeated throughout these pages. As with all friendships, we've had our ups & downs. The nice thing with us is that there's a level of trust that no matter how bad you screw-up you'll always be accepted back. This has been proven time and again.
Despite our similarities, we are three very different individual with unique viewpoints. It is my hope that you appreciate that as much as I do.
The point of this article is to give you an insight into my creativity. Being the youngest child of four and my parents being older (42 & 44) when I was born, I've had ample opportunity to use my imagination to entertain myself. Whether waiting for my folks at church or being the only youngster at some function, it was natural for me to go inside my head for entertainment.
I always enjoyed playing... still do. I believe that it is when we stop playing that we grow-up. My favorite toy as a kid was Legos. My favorite toy today is the computer. Both are not inherently entertaining by themselves; they require thinking and interaction.
I believe that when we create, we are as close to God as we can get. I hope that you receive enjoyment from our creations.
Here are some of the projects I'm working on. Please note that several of these are on-going.
Mandolin - A couple of years ago, Sara gave me an acoustic mandolin for Christmas. In addition, I now own two electric mandolins made by Juniper Creek Music (Australia) and an electric octave mandolin made by Thunder Musical Instruments (Florida). Learning to play the mandolin was not a difficult transition from guitar. I'm continuing to learn, play and write. Listen for mandolin on upcoming recordings, including...
Tonos Wudu - The idea behind this planned album is tone wood... as in what instruments are made of. Foreseen as a mainly an acoustic album, expect some tasty electric guitars. Songs include "Acorns & Thorns."
Composing - The latest project I've been working on is combining traditional Celtic tunes. I also continue to work on new compositions as inspirations come to me.
Shadowfacts - The inspiration for the song "Bearded Son." The story of an adolescent coming to grips with the special abilities he develops at puberty and the role he plays in the battle between good and evil.
Travels - A joint project with Scott set in our fantasy world, Arth. A classic tale of good vs. evil, it is filled with interesting characters.
About Hobbits - Another joint project with Scott, is a a sub-story of Travels that centers on how a war affects a community of Hobbits.
Rubatha - The story of the dark elf uprising and the origin of my main character, Rathcar.
Dragon Lore - The story of two men's chance encounter with a resurging population of dragons. A modern day tale set in the Pacific northwest.
Untitled werewolf story - Another modern day tale set in Minnesota. Phil's first attempt at horror.
Poetry - Ongoing. I've posted a sampling on this site. Look for more to be added.
