Being able to play and enjoy music
is a gift that's often taken for granted.

This music is a mixture of my own creations,
along with some collaborations with others.










How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I see the internet as a catalyst for marketing, promotional opportunities etc. With the advent of digital music transfer, the artists being able to share and spread their music in a way, which they never could before.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
They say that everything is negotiable. Have your people contact my people.
Band History:
I started playing guitar around 1964. After playing in some local bands, I decided to try working with some roadbands and that went on for about 20+ years. These days I do some choice gigs when I can but medical issues have restricted me considerably. Never lose your passion for life....just make sure you channel it in the right direction.
Your influences?
I like a wide variety of music. Some of my influences include Leo Nocentelli, Chet Atkins, Nile Rodgers, Mike Bloomfield, Steve Cropper, Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison, Jeff Beck, Jan Hammer, Max Middleton, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Nolen, Carlos Santana, Al Kooper, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Billy Preston, Chuck Berry, James Brown, Otis Redding, Jimmy Rodgers, Sam Cooke, Tommy Tedesco, Merle Haggard, Bill Hullett, Willie Nelson, Jimmy Bryant, Hank Garland, John Lee Hooker, B.B. King. Albert King, Freddie King, Albert Lee, Will Ray, Stephen Foster, Woody Guthrie, Ernie Isley, Van Morrison, Bob Wills, Eddie Hazel, Ronnie Earl, Duke Robillard, John Geils Jr, Joe Messina, Brian Setzer and Eddie Hinton.
