I can be reached at 505-270-6202. I'm kind of a spiritual troubadour, who sees the gift of music as a way to bring a little more love into the world. So, I'm seeking like-hearted musicians.

I still have my chops..creative versatile guitarist with an unusual playing style..good ear, love to accompany soulful vocalist and/or be part of a cohesive band.. Not sure what form that will take.. but I'm open.. I can write, too (lyrics, that is. My synth ax allows me to play string, horn, flute, keyboard and other instrument parts as well as guitar.

Influences:

Too many to mention...but..
began playing folk, R&B, Everly Brothers and Motown, and also Latin and Spanish.

I was touring guitarist for The Tokens (Lion Sleeps Tonite) for 2 years;

Was into James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Richie Havens, Van Morrison, The Doobies, Eagles, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Marvin Gaye;
Later, Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits), Fleetwood Mac, and Vangelis and Flamenco; Currently also love John Mayer, and country artists like Allison Krauss, w/Jerry Douglas, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley and contemporary Christian artists such as Michael W.Smith, Sela, Gateway, David Crowder, Nicole Nordeman, Fernando Ortega, etc.
