About Me

Started playing guitar in 1972, went through all the standard band stuff until I decided to focus on freelance work, and played with anybody who could pay,- a life I found so artistically stifling and destructive that I eventually had to step back from it all. Got seriously hooked on lap steel and weissenborn guitars in 2003 and my creative juices started flowing again, which resulted in the release of my solo album "Southern Moon Northern Lights" in 2006. The passion is back and stronger than ever.. :-)
