I started gigging at 18yrs. old on the River walk and played a solo act or duo for several years. At thirty yrs old, i was a different person and gave it up for my wife and newborn son. I didn't play a note for 16 yrs. and then in 2008, I thought I would play at home and teach my kids.
I am wanting to play professionally again and will be moving back to Boerne by late summer, before school begins.
I can still play acoustic, but I have taken up electric and lap steel, in the last 5yrs.
Don't think I'm totally lost, I still have an ear and do very well with practice.

Influences
I enjoy Americana and those tunes that make someone say; "Oh, I love that song".
Today, I was checking out B.W. Stevenson's, "My Maria" and "Chevy Van".
Yesterday was Bob Wills.
I like "Mudcrutch", "Jayhawks", "Bob Wills", and 100's of others.
