Its all about the sound. The Guitar. not me, but if you must know,I started playing professionally in in the late 70’s with some buddies. we did all the dances and played all the pop of the day, yes even the disco of the Bee Gee’s. I went out on the road with a trio until about 1989 when I ended up in Ft. Collins and in the middle of the best acoustic players on the planet. that’s when I really learned to play guitar. Thats when I realized that I’m closer to Jackson Browne and Dan Fogelberg than I am to ACDC musically. I always have loved the intimacy of the Acoustic guitar but I also love the Polish of bands like The Cars or Toto. I try and bring them together By being as Electric as I am Acoustic. I use several tools like loop machines and Vocal Harmonizer’s to accomplish not only the polished sound but a full sound. I love the colors of reverb and delay and use them to paint the pictures and tell the stories in the songs.
I haven’t been able ( I Admit) to capture that in a recording yet Im afraid. I really am more of a live player. Cuz I need your energy i guess.
Ive opened for quite a few big names(Peter Rowan,Left Over salmon..) , to many to remember.
My music comes from somewhere else. I really can’t say where. you I think.
After 30 something years of playing my bio would be as long as a novel if I told ya everything. So I’ll keep it short and hope you come have some fun some night with me. Maybe I’ll write down the whole story someday..if I can remember it all.
