It's just me, myself and I at this point. I write songs, play the guitar, piano, banjo and mandolin and sing (badly)...really, I don't have a very good singing voice; someday I hope to find a vocalist with whom I can collaborate. For now, I just enjoy having fun creating and playing music. I would really like to play music with a Christian message. I like playing a variety of music styles including: Americana, folk, jazz, country, bluegrass, contemporary and/or traditional Christian music, gospel, southern gospel, rock, etc...
I really love fingerstyle guitar and open and alternate tunings (G, D, DADGAD, Dropped D, etc). I love the work of the late John Fahey. Also influenced by Leo Kottke, Ry Cooder, The Eagles, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, Eric Clapton, Santana, ...
