I have been fully retired since Dec 2015 from the electrical industry. I’ve always loved music, bought my first guitar in the summer of ‘65. Thought I was going to be a rock star but went into the service instead (USAF ‘66 to ‘70). I love most all types of music. My interest in songwriting began in the late 70’s. Time will tell where it goes from here.

Instruments & Skills
I play electric and acoustic guitars, some drums, some keyboards, some harmonica, some of everything that makes a sound. Played cornet way on back in school band. I record my own material at least well enough for a decent work demo. I work on tube guitar amps, just built one for a friend who writes music for a tv show.
