It was my father's name. He chose it for me.

Open mics wherever I find them, a few paying gigs here and there. Always for fun.

I stopped buying CD's a while ago. I like local stuff. The internet is like local stuff and plentiful, and inexpensive. It must be hurting the status quo. They will adapy, I'm sure.

I don't see myself a record company material. I would prefer to get my songs to others, those who would make them fly.

I have been playing guitar for 30+ years. Along the way, I have tried to overcome my fear of performing for others. I have met some great people along the way.
About 6 years ago, I wrote my first song. Many more followed. But songs don't sing themselves. So, here I am.
I have made it my mission to do my best to promote them. Part of that is to record them. The other part is to get them to you.

John Prine, Steve Goodman, Steve Earle, Bob Delevante and Springsteen are my favorite writers. Maybe they have influenced my writing. I'd be the last to know. I'm told that I sound like John Prine, but I cover him a lot.

My Home Studio

I have many fine acoustic guitars. I try to play them all.
Favorites, 33 Martin OM-18, 50 Martin 000-28, Bourgeois OM
Just got a 94 Gibson Les Paul that I am recording with as well.
Cakewalk Guitar Tracks Studio, Alesis SR-16

After 30 years of "banging" on an acoustic guitar, I am finally getting better and also, getting interested in lead electric. Having a great time with music, and recording my songs.
