Houndog came from the couple of hounds that I have had over the past 10 years .Mrs Houndog started commenting on similarities...

I play a lot of gigs/festivals in Scotland in an acoustic duo with my long suffering pal "Delta" Dougie Seath and we aim to record some of our acoustic tunes soon. We are also playing a jumping good cajun set .
Currently I am holding down the boom boom stick in the formidable Groovecats, great fun and some very hot jive, come up and say hello.

I have heard a lot and met a huge amount of great players and music pals over the net , sometimes I get to meet them face to face too which is always good fun.

Why on earth would I punish myself in this way ?

Always looking for that sound and technique, sometimes even in public !

I still can't get my head round Ms.Fred McDowell and Robert Johnson.
Ry Cooder is also a inspiration.

Scotland and New Orleans, one is entrenched calvinistic subtle humour and music and the other is wild happy town which saw every musical great pass down it's streets.

My hands.

I am slowly moving towards another cd " Original Snake Sin Music". Which will cover all my own stuff, some slide some Scottish and hokum.
