50 years of playing bass and harmonica, through the big hair 80's, blues, hard rock, tribute bands, acoustic duos and trios. It's been a great ride! These are songs from my heart and soul and I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I enjoyed writing and recording them!Band/artist history
Started playing harmonica (harp) at 14, bass at 16, mostly self taught. Went through numerous bands, the late 1970's-80's spandex/big hair era, blues bands, acoustic duos/trios, tribute bands including Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, T Rex, and Bob Seger. began recording, writing, singing back up vocals on a 4 track cassette recorder.
