Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Does anybody really have that much time? Let me think...
My interest in finger style guitar began at a very early age after seeing Chet Atkins perform in concert.
I also play keyboards and a variety of other instruments but the acoustic guitar is my primary instrument of choice.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I think it's more like I live to play. I do perform by invitation at festivals and private house concerts. For the most part I prefer to work in my personal studio and have friends over to help me lay down tracks.
Your musical influences
Chet Atkins, James Taylor, Doyle Dykes, Craig Chaquico, Doc & Merle Watson, the Ventures (remember them?), Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, Eagles, Doobie Bros, Peter, Paul & Mary, Lyle Lovett... There's just too many to name them all, but if you listen to my music you can probably tell.
What equipment do you use?
Guitars: Martin D-18, Carvin CC275 Acoustic/Electric, Fender? Bass
Keys: Roland D-50 (for strings), EMU Proteus (piano module)
Percussion: Djembe, Tamborine, Shaker Eggs, Plastic Jars, Ping Pong Paddles, and whatever else is laying around.
