Tombeau for Garcia served up Travis style; slow, fat and blue on an electric archtop.

Country Blues

You'll be hearing mostly solo acoustic or electric guitar, country blues based. Or other stuff. Fingerpicked for the most part. I like guys like Merle Travis, Blind Blake, Bill Williams, Larry Johnson, Gary Davis, Fred McDowell and other old country blues players and early jazz guys like Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt, Lonnie Johnson, Eddie Lang.
Band/artist history
Born in the '50s, playing blues, ragtime and all the Great American Musics since the '60s. I am still playing songs I wrote 30 or more years ago because people still ask for them.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Appearing before the public since 1970 mostly in South Central Pennsyldutchia.
Your musical influences
Blind Blake, Merle Travis, Josh White, Bill Williams, Larry Johnson Dave Van Ronk, Rudi Protrudi, Boardwalk Bob Thompson. I should mention rockabilly/jazz guitarist Bill Fischer too, as all my friends I stole from learned from him. When I hear influence in my own playing it's mostly Bill Williams, Larry Johnson and Josh White, early on I learned off of Dave Van Ronk records.
What equipment do you use?
Currently playing a Samick Greg Bennett Design Lasalle JZ4 archtop with a floating pickup.
