About Me

I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!

I live to play music and make a living as a full-time guitarist.Throughout my career, I have been fortunate enough to have played with great musicians at many wonderful venues, including Carnegie Hall and the Monterey Jazz Festival (jazz festivals everywhere). Often hired to play solos and rhythms on recordings, I make my living both live on the stage and tanning in sound studios.However, I filter life through the eyes of a metaphysician. Used to be a professional Astrologer-Tarot reader-Psychic development teacher on the side of my music, as I have a great interest in all things esoteric.---
