I've been performing publicly since 1988. I started after being mentored for two years by Todd Stratton. My first gig was in a tiny little bar at the Naples Hotel in Naples, NY. Soon after, I was playing at restaurants, coffee houses, and was a regular for 4 years at the Thomas Homestead Festival in the Finger Lakes area of New York. I moved to Southeastern Arizona in 1996 and after a long hiatus with only sporadic gigging have started performing again.I have not released any official CD's, just one of some songs I recorded for posterity, mainly because it is not a priority. I feel the magic is in the live performance. I've started thinking about what would be the best way to go. I'd love to have someone with field equipment come and record us, and then pick the best tracks. I'm a live performer. I don't like studio work. It's tedious and not very spontaneous. We are trying to reach a happy medium. At this time, I have a few songs for sale on this site. They were recorded in my apartment above Doris Lemke's Realty in Bisbee in 1996 or 1997. My band mates (at the time), Jon Messenger and Lance Grey, my dear deceased friend Bill Morrison and I set up our instruments in my dining room, Joe my bro set up a mike for us and said, "Go". We recorded "This River" and "The Ballad of Ben Johnson". Ben Johnson was recorded in one take, I think, and This River was done in two takes. That's my kind of studio work.
