About Me

Born 2/20/51, played and learned with legends Bukka White, J.B. Hutto. Left music in '87 to raise son Milo, survived three bouts with cancer, son grown up, now back in music. Recorded several discs on small American and European labels. Can be heard on several anthologies, most notably "Best of Slide Guitar" on Wolf Records ," A Beanpot of Songs" on Blues Trust and "Best of Vineyard Sound" on Rhino Records. Firm believer that spontaneity and creativity are the blues traditions to uphold. I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
