Sounds and Songs

Sounds

  • In the fifth grade, Paul started playing saxophone.

  • In high school, he started banjo, guitar, playing "folk" gatherings, and writing songs.

  • At Wright State, he learned piano, flute, rock and roll, and bid eucre, and writing better songs.

  • Paul began performing Contemporary Christian music in the seventies, before it was actually called Contemporary Christian music. He wrote and performed many new songs, a few of which have been recorded by other people you never heard of.

  • In the last decade, when "real" coffeehouses started returning to the Midwest, Paul returned to his folk roots somewhat, and has gone back to mostly "acoustic."

  • Paul sings baritone. In concert he mostly plays guitar, though he trades off on banjo, harmonica, saxophone, or piano to keep people guessing.

  • Paul still writes songs, including folk-style songs, gospel-style songs, and an occasional Christmas song. If you have him out to sing, we guarantee you'll hear many thoughtful songs you've never heard before.

Songs

Paul writes just about any kind of music you can imagine, from folk to country to rock to bluegrass to blues, and he has a lot of fun shifting gears in concerts.

To give you an idea of Paul's song styles and range of expression, Paul is going to try having downloadable songs right here. He'll probably rotate them, rather than having a bunch at one time. He is starting with a song he wrote in June, 2002, when the whole world seemed to be in an upheaval. Please check back for more songs in the future, and contact us if you'd like more information about a particular song or permission to record it yourself, or you decide you want to hear Paul in person.

A few short clips of some of Paul's other songs are available below in Real Audio format.
