About Me

At present, Girl Friday is a one man band...me. If not for multi-track recording, I would likely resemble one of those musical contraptions from a Dr. Seuss book and need about six more hands! Alas! My kingdom for a band!! My current gig is at a local restaurant playing an acoustic mix of covers and originals. I look forward to writing, recording, learning, collaborating, and hopefully performing live a little more frequently. We shall see....:-)
