Since about 1969, the Guitar has been a very big part of my life. I have traveled many miles, met thousands of people and experienced music in ways I never dreamed. The feeling you get being on stage is very hard to describe. 

I have enjoyed playing Rock, Country, Bluegrass, R&B and Soul, but the Blues just seems to keep me grounded. I began this venture of performing solo in 2001. I record my own background music in my home studio. I perform live using the recorded tracks with Guitars, Harmonicas and Vocals. 

I currently use Fender Stratocaster Guitars, Carvin Vintage Amp, Rockman Effects, Yamaha Mixer/Amp, JBL, Yamaha Speakers, Philips MP3 Player and Sony CD Recorder/Player.
