About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

I have been playing guitar since 1984 and I have had the pleasure and privilege of playing in various types of musical situations. I don’t believe that there is such a thing as separating music into genres. "Playing music is not about individual talent or even a group talent. Sure, musicians obviously have a special talent. But for me, playing music is a celebration of the ability to play music. I am extremely grateful for music and what it does for my life and I will never take it or anything else for granted..
