I am a 73-year-old man who's been performing music shows since I was 12 years old. I started out playing folk music in the early sixties and then switched to rock and roll eventually. In the '70s I started playing flute and saxophone and harmonica with a Soul band. I then switch to fronting a blues band as lead singer. After that I started doing a solo act playing acoustic guitar and harmonica and singing. I was an Entertainer on the Grand Canyon railroad for many as well as playing in restaurants. In recent years I had been doing a Duo playing classic rock and roll, until my friend and guitar player died. I am very good at playing harmonica and flute. I do not play lead on guitar but I'm learning. I love to sing lead and sharing the mic with another singer who likes to sing lead as well.
