GOD BLESS MY WIFE (WHO IS ALWAYS THERE), AND THE SONGWRITER'S CIRCLE OF KANSAS CITY AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO DAVID HAKAN FOR HIS YEARS OF HARD WORK. The rest of my influences are Johnny Cash (The Man), Ian Tyson, Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Emmy Lou Harris (ain't she sweet?), Lefty Frizzell, Gordon Lightfoot, Bob Dylan, and once more, JOHNNY CASH. Emmy Lou is a sweet soul, but all the others are tortured souls.

I've been performing in the Kansas City area since the mid-80's. Lots of libraries, churchs, coffeehouses, bar & grills, festivals. It's usually me, my guitar, and harmonica. I've considered forming a duo or trio with friends, but my music is typically very personal and often on the dark or bittersweet side and I think it's best played "solo." However, I'll never say "never."

Hi Larry, I had a great time also. We exchanged some great ideas and thoughts that night. Was really nice getting to know you and I cant wait for the next event. Keep in touch. Your friend, Skip
I’ve posted a new song on myspace about the ongoing antics of our KC mayor.  It’s called Funk’s Way Redux and you can also catch it on the Star’s Prime Buzz site.  Check it out!
The popular Folk on the Patio series continues at SPIN! this Monday night, August 25 with singer/songwriter Laura Lisbeth performing at the Overland Park restaurant from 6-8 p.m.

Larry, Cute baby pics! Thanks so much for supporting my music events and sending out the announcements to your list of folks. Have a great week and see you soon. rkj
Hi Larry, been awhile since we chated. I need to get out to one of your gigs soon. I just threw together a local forum for acoustic music, somewhat like the AGF but for local music. You can promote your shows, buy and sell gear, look for bandmembers and just general discussion. Check it out when you have a chance and let me know what you think. Thanks
Hey Larry whenever you can put me on the Latteland let me know...then let me know how to get there as well. 8) Good to see you in Parkville as always. Take care my friend. PJ
