Hi!
I'm a guitarist, singer and songwriter currently living in Fredericton, N.B., Canada. I've been performing music in one way or another since the mid '60's, starting out singing tenor in a barbershop quartet with my brothers and then into a progression of bands playing rock, jazz, blues and country and... whatever. It's been a fun ride so far and I'm still as exited about it as the day I began.

Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Currently playing with my re-united band from 30 years ago, A.K.A.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I do play live occasionally.
Your musical influences
Rock, blues, jazz, country and many of their subgenres. Actually, every sound I hear.
What equipment do you use?
I play a Gretsch Electromatic Jet, and a parts tele. All the recordings on here are with guitars I no longer own. LP, strat, tele, etc. and a midi keyboard for the sampled instruments
Anything else?
I picked jazz as a genre because that's where I'm at these days. Most of my live history is with rock and blues, though. Blues/Jazz/Rock sounds like a better descriptor.
