God Bless Texas and The Blues

About Me

"There's nowhere you can be that is'nt where your meant to be"--John Lennon-- I'm the only chair bassist for the Scott Holt Band.Much to my pleasure a bass has been in my hands for most of my life. I love my wife Janell, my dog Zappa, Starbucks coffee, Winston cigarettes and The Beatles.Music is my passion on stage and in my head.I lived in Austin,Texas from '76 to'85.Thats where my wife and I started our life journey together.Austin is a magical place for music,armadillos,cedar trees and love. I'm now in Nashville and I've had the pleasure to play with some great musicians and artist .I'm meant to be right where I am with Scott traveling all over this land,meeting great people and smoking blues and rock&roll all night long. "The world is a shallow place without bass"
