Biography

I've always been keyed into music... As a kid I used to play a game where I'd name the song before the singer came in. I started playing guitar back in the late 70's... not sure of the year,, but I remember Foreigner's Hot Blooded and 38 Special's Rockin' Into The Night were current songs on the radio. Led Zeppelin had a magic for me. There was no formula, just a bunch of different ideas that made me want to play the guitar. The 80's hit and I couldn't see myself doing anything other than play guitar for a living. Had a band, played with other musicians just for our entertainment, etc. Used to record on one of those old cassette tape 4-track recorders. A friend of mine and I used to spend all of our time doing something musical (we jammed, wrote new songs, recorded covers of songs we did/didn't like with some lyrics that the original artist would probably sue us for) I never really did much of anything, but the 80's guitar-based music scene left me in the dust... Threw in the towel and stopped playing for 10+ years. Then I bought a Jackson RR guitar (that I'd wanted for 20+ years) and I haven't stopped playing since. At this point I don't know if I have a style. I hope my playing does, but not my compositions. Oh well, listen and enjoy. I am working on a CD project. When that becomes available I will let you know and possibly post clips here.

Hey Grumpy,,, We wanted to especially say thanks for your review of our track,, To The Edge of the World. I really got a charge from the words you gave us.

By the way, has anyone ever told you ? that you look like a double of John Lithgow, (3rd Rock etc.) as you appear in your profile photo (half face , half guitar). For me,, it makes me feel like I know you before knowing anything. the guy is a laugh a minute.

In your influences, you list Randy Roads. !! cool. i havent had a chance to hear any of your music yet. But right now, i will. shane

Hiya!
The question about my cds'... Well, at the moment I don't sell anywhere. So I think they are not really "available" to buy at the moment :)

I didn't really know where to respond to your question, so I decided to use this :)

Grump listened to the 2 top songs just now, Holy Cow man! you have really grown over that past few months... Loved the Blues Tune! - First song reminded me of the band Horselips (which I very much like, by the way) - I would have liked the first part of the first song to hear an acoustic guitar in Leu of the phased/flanged rhythym guitar, but it was still, a good listen. That Blues piece tho... Very powerful my friend....
