About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

I'm originally from New Orleans and currently living in Denver. I play Celtic traditional music, some bluegrass, and original compositions (that could generally be classified as acoustic World/New Age music) on a variety of instruments. But I can never stray too far from my roots as a blues/rock guitarist.

Last year, I bailed out of corporate America in favor of pursuing my music and making guitars. Soon after, I accepted an invitation to join the new incarnation of Potcheen, and have been having a great time playing and touring with that merry band of versatile musicians.

I also recently had my first book published (a guide to Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics), and intend to write more as time allows.

My cousin kicks ass and plays guitar like he's been down to the crossroads. Check out his site and buy his music; you'll be glad you did:

Whence and wither regarding my zither

I've been wanting to get my hands on a zither for years but never had the opportunity to actually see one until this month, when I discovered that a friend with whom I play music had two of ...
