About Me

Doing my best to plough my way through as many dives, streetcorners, juke joints and honky tonks as I can while keeping both hands and feet intact. The latest semi-official recording, called "Dry Land," was with Joe Kille in April 2006, but the bootleggers somehow keep sneaking my stuff onto the web. You can even find some of it right here...
