About Me

I was a singer/songwriter/guitarist for 35 years until a series of unfortunate events put me into a coma for 4 weeks, and had me in the hospital for 2 months. I woke up as a quadraplegic. After 6 months in a rehabilitation hospital, I was able to regain some strength in my arms and hands, hold my head up and sit up without tipping over. I was left as a paraplegic, on oxygen, with irretractable pain in my coccys and feet. Aside from my real job as a psychologist, i used to sing and play guitar out in clubs and bars and even in a band doing a concert once! After many attempts to sing again, I had tests done which showed that I only had one vocal chord closing properly, thus, my singing career was over. After months of trying to play guitar the spasms in my arms and hands left my guitar career over, also.. I decided I can still write lyrics, and have partnered with some of the best talent from all over the world over at DMusic, Myspace at Soundclick and kompoze. These tracks kept music in my life when I thought I lost everything. You can hear my music, both my crappy recordings (basement tapes, and a real mix of genres in some of my collaborations which I wrote all the lyrics and some of the music for. I'm glad to be here and hope to make some friends. I don't really have any contact with people, not to mention other disabled people. peace---jd
