About

Played in bands in the Kansas City area from 1966 to 1987 on a part time and full time basis. Mostly rock and top 40 and in later years blues and country. Taught guitar lessons at local music store for 4 years (1980 - 1984). Took guitar lessons for 3 years, voice lessons for 1 year and played Sax in Jr High band for 2 years. Took music theory course from coresspondence school and have continued to play 1 - 2 hours a day for personal pleasure sinc 1987. Looking for local work in the Phoenix, AZ area for extra income and fun. Not looking to tour at this point.
