ABOUT

I played my first gig when I was 13 in 1966. In a church basement I think. Started out playing a Domino organ, graduated to a Farfisa and Continental before switching to guitar. I had different bands through high school and college and then stopped playing out until I was in my late thirties. Got the bug again big time and dropped my career to become a starving musician in Asheville. I setup a little studio in my basement to record myself and ended up recording quite a few people down there. Had a duo with my wife (now ex) and played and toured with several different people for about 7 years. Loved it! Then life changed again and I moved back to Jacksonville to help out with a family member who had a car accident. For the last 7 years I have been a one-man-band for my church. I am a former Apple employee and actively use Macs for music creation. I am best in a supporting role and my forte is adding grace and nuance to whatever musical situation I am in. I am looking for people who would like to play and possibly perform original and old sixties and seventies singer-songwriter stuff.
