ABOUT

I retired from General Motors young because they offered a good pension and buyout to do so. Im 48 years old now but look 38 because I work out often. So I decided since I have all this free time now to start studying blues harmonica seriously. I have hired several great teachers over the few years including Jason Ricci, Ronnie Shellist, JP Allen, and Michael Rubin. Please note I am in a wheelchair from a snowmobile accident it is a problem for some people but it doesn't effect my harp playing
