What can I tell you about me? I was born and raised in Ottawa, Canada. As of writing this, near the end of 2004, I'm 29 years old. I learned to play the guitar at the age of 5 listening to my father's Johnny Cash records. The first song I ever learned was Folsom Prison Blues, and I had been hooked on Cash's music since. Over the years, I've listened to many other genres of music. Maybe some of it rubbed off in the music I write, maybe not.
To explain what B. W. Kash means. B. W. is short for Black Wolf, a name given to me by a Cherokee shaman I meant in my travels to Ohio. Kash really doesn't need much explanation. Johnny Cash, and I wanted to be a little different.
I'd give you the nickel tour but it would cost you a dollar. So, if you'd rather avoid the tour guide and take a stab at finding your way around on your owm, that won't cost you anything.
Below are some of my originals I've written and recorded recently, and there's a story about each one. To Die was written back in 2001, coming off a nasty separation and eventual divorce, and the consuming emptiness that followed. This song has a hidden message of hope, some say it's just stubbornness on my part that I won't give my detractors the satisfaction of running me out of town. Because of You was written shortly after Johnny Cash left us in 2003. I wrote it and sang it in his style on purpose as a tribute, and the words reflect how I feel about life and family today. Country In My Soul was actualy a mindfart. I was listening to others play in a Paltalk room I frequent, and the song hit. All of it, the music, the words. It's as if my brain had been sitting on it and finally needed to get rid of it.
