I've been writing in one form or another since I was a kid. Lyrically, I've always been drawn to the storyteller songwriters. Musically, my influences range from Neil Young to Bela Fleck to Led Zeppelin to B.B. King, etc., etc. My son, Nate, & I are a bluegrass duo called "Keating Township." I play electric guitar in a Christian Rock band called "New Vision" at Trinity United Methodist Church in Whitesboro, NY. Original songwriting, however, is what I enjoy doing most.
