About Me

Hit the road at 17. Went to Winona, MN for a four day weekend and stayed 9 years. Lived on the Missippi River in a home-made boathouse. Many roads traveled all over the United States always with a desire to meet other artists, musicians, and people in general. My dream is to spend the rest of my life writing songs and playing music. I have worked hard all my life and now that I'm getting older I'm thinking that its time to change professions. I love to perform music wherever or whenever,I never get tired of the excitment that comes from doing so. This comming year I have a lot of nice gigs,including playing in Winona Minnesota and in Wisconsin. I've been performing and playing music for the last five years,but I have always played music from the first guitar that I was given (I was nine years old then). The master plan for the future is to build a dream Lodge in the northwoods of wisconsin at the shores of lake Superior. This lodge will be a homebase and will also be a place where kids from the inner city can come and enjoy the outdoors. href="http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?useaction=vids.individu al&videoid=31133596"Windy city blues
