ABOUT

I like old country and rock and roll, although I do like some of the new stuff too. Sometimes I play rhythm and sometimes lead. Sometimes sing lead but not all the time. I’m not seeking a music career just doing it for my hobby and to have some fun with. I am a professional and a business owner, so I’ll stick with what really makes me a living, but I’d love to sit in for a jam sometimes.
