Band/artist history

Was a solo acoustic performer most of my career.  Started performing with a band called Philadelphia Mint in Syracuse, NY at the age of 14.  We were "discovered" by a local DJ, Happy Jack McNamee.  Joined the late Jay Burrow as an acoustic duo, "Skye Blue" for several years, went solo until I joined with Alan Nasemann and Holly Abel to form "Trillium" and "Eargasm".  Solo again after that, in Syracuse and St. Petersburg, FL.  Retired from public performing in 2011 after a short stint with an oldies cover band, "Just In Time".

Have you performed in front of an audience?

I no longer play due to a neurological condition in my left hand.

Your musical influences

Musical influences are Chet Atkins, Leo Kottke, and a British bluesman, Beresford Taylor.  Lyrically, my influences are Croce, Harry Chapin, and Paul Simon.

What equipment do you use?

Nothing spectacular. When I performed, Peavey sound system, Takamine E-360 acoustic electric.

Anything else?

Thanks to anyone stopping by to listen to the old bear.
