The recordings are pretty much just me.
I do all of the guitars, bass, synth, and
"live" drums on a Roland Juno G....
Been playing since 1979...
Started writing blues influenced stuff
around 1988.
I'll have some new songs posted.
Plus....some of my archived music.
Recently digitized my old analog tapes.
So, I'll also be posting some of my older stuff.
Some blues....some folk oriented.
