Most of the music here is music that I have written, which is my passion - writing and playing guitar centric music.
While I spent a lot of time on the road in my younger days and played with a lot of great musicians and opening acts, I've only been back at it for a few years after a really long hiatus.
My only regret is ever stopping. I will never stop again.

Do you play live?
I live and work and play in Michigan.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Who can tell.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If I ever found myself there again I would go independent just to foil the RIAA.
Band History:
After many years on the road, many years ago. I'm now back to doing what I like best, writing and playing guitar centric music, and performing live anywhere except dance bars. (Been there done that for years, but never again.)
Your influences?
I like any kind of guitar music from Lee Ritenour, to Johnny A, to Chet Atkins, Django, Metheny, Carlton, Merle Travis, and about a million other guitar players.
Favorite spot?
I don't really like cities, but my favorite is Chicago. Great music, and good food. I also like to fly fish in Alaska at every opportunity.
Equipment used:
I play hollow body with Classic 57s and a Tone Styler through a Carr Mercury amp. I also use a Strat, nylon string classical guitar, acoustic bass, and synthesizer. I use a few boutique pedals, but play pretty clean for the most part.
Anything else...?
I hate the way music is lumped into categories, there should never be more that two catagories...
Stuff you really like, and stuff you don't like as well. Music is the greatest gift in the world, it should never be worn as a uniform.
