About Me


Hi! Welcome to my MySpace page!
I think this is where I'm supposed to come up with a fancy own-horn-tootin' blurb about what a musical genius I think I am. Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of inspiration right now, so I'll just tell you a bit about myself. Sound good?
I've been playing guitar for just about 30 years, and have played in various cover bands over that time. My current band is GPF, please check out our website at www.gpfband.com. Or even better, check out our new MySpace page at www.myspace.com/gpfband
Writing music is a recent passion of mine. I'm currently working on recording a bunch of songs. Keep checking here to see what kind of progress I make :)
Anyway, a small sample of my music is available here for your "listening pleasure"... It is also available on my Soundclick page, and on Radiospace - see links on this page. By the way, since MySpace only allowws me to share 5 songs with you all, make sure to check my Soundclick page, since all my songs are available there.
I'd like to mention specifically and give a big shout out to K94rocks.com and affiliated internet radio stations. They truly believe in music and give everybody, including losers like me ;) a chance to be heard. I am forever grateful for that and encourage you to support them. Also, more recently, my songs were submitted to Caya radio, equally interesting, and on the little guy's side. Click on their respective banners and listen, I bet you love what you hear.
Born and raised in Montréal, Québec, I currently live in Minnesota with my family.
A special thank you to my son Jake for setting up this site for me :) Make sure to sign my guest book and tell all you friends to visit my page!
Check out my friend's Jim Soloway's amazing guitars. I play them a lot!

Been a while, but I finally have a new song

I just added "Dangerous Dreams", my latest tune, to my page. It's different, in my opinion, from the rest. It's even been described as a power ballad, but I don't believe a word of it.This song was ac...

Feedback...

You know, there's not much quite like plugging my guitar into an amp, turning it up and hitting a power chord, and then letting it feedback. Raw, loud and long! It's soooo satisfying. So liberating. S...

Everything

I uploaded a new song, "Everything" on myspace. I've been wanting to put this one for a while, but it's just a tad too rough for my taste. But since I never find the time to tweak it, here it is on al...
