About Me

Music has been a major part of my life since I can remember. Some of my earliest memories are singing along with an old vinyl Mousekeeteers LP,( the original Mousekeeteers from the 1950’s). I’ve been playing violin/fiddle for over 42 years now and have been writing songs for over 30 years. I normally play fiddle in a couple of bands; The Rhubarbarians, and Steve West and the Northern Stars. On occasion, I play with Roland Trenary and have played some very fun performances with Bob and Lynn Dixon. Check out www.myspace.com/theRhubararians for a sampling of the Rhubs. I’ve been recording and re-recording some of my tunes and songs for a new cd. I’ll add samples to this site as they are recorded and ready.
