I've been at since the mid 60's. Started taking lessons on the mandolin at 9 then added
guitar when I turned 12. Stopped formal training when I hit 16 and started learning
everything I could: Santana, Deep Purple,  Savoy Brown, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin,
Uriah Heep, and a lot more.  Then, in 1973 I discovered Blue Oyster Cult and a great friend
in Donald (buck dharma) Roeser who became and still is my biggest influence and inspiration.
At 20 I began trying to compose my own music and at 23 started a mostly original band,
we did a few select covers. Did that for the next ten years.
That part of my life then ended for numerous reasons but I continued to jam along with
friends and the stereo in my home. Now  I'm back at it, writing and recording  music
at my home in the country.
The Internet has given me the opportunity to have my music heard.
I've also met and collaborated with lots of cool musicians and have heard some some
excellent music created by independent artists.
The guitar has been a major part of my life and will continue as long as my fingers will
let me.  And now a new chapter begins in my life. I've found my love, my soul mate
and I dedicate the rest of my time here on earth to my love, Gina.
