Western campfire stories set to music; ghosts, gunfights, lost mines and hidden treasure. Also contemporary Americana, some Bluegrass and enough Country to stay alive in most roadhouses.
I do some blogging for Hickory Wind , a neat Americana music resource for reviews, interviews, and commentary!
Oh yeah, the bio. Let's keep it brief. It all started when I fell off a mule.
That was at age six, and I haven't been right since. Still don't completely trust mules.
I currently live in Arizona, where I am exceedingly grateful to have a job driving a forklift, unloading trucks and sweeping the warehouse floor. I also on rare occasions manage to record a few original songs for the amusement of a tiny group of steadfast friends.
My wife Alice and I are the prized possessions of two cats. Where the dog fits in we're not sure. The dog worries about it a lot.
