ABOUT
Started on piano as a child, and started playing acoustic guitar in Church in 1976. Have focused mostly on Blues and Blues/Rock (electric guitar) for the past 20-25 years, but have never been a full-time musician. I just love to play. Getting more competent on Harp (harmonica), play some bass when needed. Do lead vocals and guitar for my current band "Single Malt Bourbon"
