About Me

I am a guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer, arranger, music lover etc... I've had the opportunity to work/collaborate with some extremely talented people (some famous and some not so famous) and I always try and learn something new each time. I'm HUGE fan of great songs, STRONG melodies and SOUL (whether that be Aretha, Otis Clay, James Carr or Neil Young!!! It's all SOUL music). I'm BIG into 50's, 60's & 70's Country Music (George Jones being my favorite singer). Also, waaaayy into 60's R&B and Soul. I love mid-tempo songs and ballads. Music is the thing I love most, followed by Movies, Books, Magazines, and good TV (contrary to some people I know there is such a thing).Hammond organ and Pedal Steel are my favorite instruments and I lean towards female singers (Patsy Cline, Baby Washington, Dionne Warwick, Erma Franklin, Lorraine Ellison etc…)I love short songs with great lyrics ("nice and simple like a '57 Chevy"). Old cars ('65 Bonnevilles being my favorites, with '65 Cadillacs running a very close second). Hank Williams RULES!!!I’m currently working a day gig in the music industry, enjoying my family and friends, writing songs, producing music and always looking to work with creative, talented people.
