About Me |

| What is the sound of one hand clapping? What is the sound of a tree falling in the forest with no one there to hear it? These new songs wanted to be heard, so here they are ...Whale Blue Eye's first album, "Dizzy With Joy," which was released a few years back, is still available on CDBaby and iTunes. I've included that link over on the left-side of the page--click on it and you'll have the opportunity to read a few inane facts and odd statements about Whale Blue Eye. You'll also be able to check out some songs other than the ones posted on this page ...And the SONGS are why I'm here: I'm a songwriter, guitarist, and (sort of) singer. I've got plenty of other joyously sad sounds that I will be posting as I record them. Thanks for stopping by--whether you do so in slyly discreet fashion, or whether you're so bold and kind as to take the time to leave a message. Peace. --Gavin | |
