I am an electric & acoustic guitarist,being fairly eclectic; challenging the limits of slide guitar, mostly. I also play piano and some other instruments & try to keep electronics at a minimum. Having played in every type of genre over 25 years, now I like to work with different musicians collaborating in various ways, like through the vehicle of internet. It's a great way to get to know more about world music & different cultures. I am a professional teacher of art, graphic design & history. As well I am a professional visual artist.
