Heartland Blues, is how I describe the kind of music I enjoy to play. Americana, blues, folk, country.

Right now I play mostly around here local, in east Tenn. I venture down to NC every week to play at Hot Springs. I get down to Texas once in awhile. And Port Townsend, WA starting to spread out some, up to Michigan in Feb. 2008, and Columbus,OH Feb. too.

big changes, I am an old guy who still like to see, and feel something solid, like a disk, or tape. I don't have a mp3player, but see all the kids with them, or Ipod. I still think people of my generation still listen to cds or radio more than mp3, at least they don't seem to download any songs ofmine, but buy cds more.

Well, I have changed my feelings on this. I always thought I would. But now I think I like being independent..........but who knows,

John Prine. Ed Bruce(the voice) and Vern Gosdin. and Blues players Buddy Guy and many others. and lately I like Michael Reno Harrel, Jeff Black, Malcolm Holcombe, Chris Smither, R. B. Morris. and a lot of others most have never heard of. In my area just about any old guy sitting on his front porch plays better than anybody you might hear in Nashville.

San Antonio and Austin Texas, and alittle place in the mountains of NC called Hot Springs, not much of a Big city person, lived in Detroit when I was young. New favorite place, Port Townsend, WA, great people, and venues.

I like vintage Guitars. I Have many. I use an old 50s Kay acoustic to do most of my writing. She has a great sound and one of my favorites (Kate) I have an early 60s Framus hollowbody elec. for a mellow soulful sound Iwhen needed. a 1970 Framus 6 string banjo, I recently bought a Blueridge br73 to gig with, installed a Martin pickup, and love it.
