I'm a versatile British guitar player with bags of experience. I have recently relocated to Florida from England with my small family. I sing pretty well despite my (rapidly)advancing years. I love all kinds of music, though these days I want to pose less and play more... I spent a large part of my career covering other people's music where "sounding just like the record" was the best you could hope for.I suppose I'd like to do something a little more original and creative. It can still be covers, but maybe changed around to make them our own. I wouldn't mind playing some country or country rock. Heaven knows I've done my fair share of covering Eagles stuff over the years. I love the vocal harmonies in country rock and there's lots of room for a guitarist to get creative...

Influences:

I've been playing 40 years... so it's a long list. Albert Lee is a guitar player I have always admired for his fluid musicality. At the moment I love Robbie Macintyre's work in Nora Jones's band,which is not flashy, but damned good. Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings are a great band and I love what they do... I like Boz Skaggs, The Eagles, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, Stevie Wonder... The truth is I love anything that's good... From Muddy Waters to Michael Buble... Good music is good music and that's all there is to it...

Equipment List:

Guitars: Custom Shop Stratocaster, Musicman Albert Lee signature guitar, Ovation Glenn Campbell, Epiphone Casino, Takamine nylon string electro classical, etc. Mesa Boogie Lone Star Amp... Lexicon and other effects...
