These are my recording experiments. I had fun doing them and I hope you enjoy listening. Actually a lot them stressed me out. Recording isn't easy.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started doing recording experiments in August 2007, but I've been playing guitar since 1983 (though I pretty much stopped for 10 or so years from around 1994 to 2005).
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
No I don't. I have a few times and I didn't really enjoy it. I was glad when it was over.
