About

I listen to and play a lot of things, play what I feel.

Sometimes I step into the circle, Ayida Weddo she comes and it is the shadow and the light, it is elsewhere. A right time, right place and right people, things happen, things come through.

Equipment List

I play a Black Les Paul Custom that fits me and looks like I feel a good deal of the time. I've been adopted by a Red Fender Strat that is both new and old to me in ways I can't really explain. We seem to get along for now so maybe it will stay. They have both extensively been modified.

I spend a lot of time alone with a Washburn Acoustic that is not very fancy, is comfortable and ring like a bell.
