About Me

I am on a Journey that is taking me to all 50 States and some other points of Interest around the World. Using my own Tuning while improvising never before heard pieces on a Classical Guitar, I intend to record a minimum of 50 CDs, 1 from each State. All the profits from the sales of any and all hard copies Created from these 50 CDs or via Digital Downloads, will go primarily towards helping children with breathing disabilities and towards reforesting our Planet. More trees means better air, which should mean fewer breathing problems. There will be other Charities able to benefit from these CDs via Digital Downloads as well.

I am affiliated with Sweet Lucy Records and have been playing Guitar for over 4 decades.
