I play country, blues, and swing jazz primarily. Got started playing in the little country churches my folks attended in Louisiana when I was about nine, but by the time I was around fifteen is when I started feeling the guitar like it was the devil’s right hand.
I have NO interest in being a leader and want nothing more than being a sideman.
