The tunes for a couple of recent songs of mine are reminiscent of James Keelaghan's "Fires of Calais" and "Hillcrest Mine", and someone told me one song sounded a bit like Schooner Fare (I see where they were coming from...tunewise that one's a bit like "Day of the Clipper".

Don't think I look like any famous musicians.

In terms of songwriting, I admire folks like Christine Lavin who can do both catchy and funny or serious and sentimental. That's similar to the direction my songwriting takes; I have plenty of parodies and a handful of original funny songs, but I also have serious material as well.
